I do not want to include the column "Created by" searches within a list, for this, I've tried the following:

  1. Within Sharepoint Administration Center, Manage search scheme, managed properties, find the column "created by" and check the "Allow search" option is unchecked.

  2. Sharepoint Administration Center, Manage search scheme, and look for the ows_Created_x0020_By column within the crawled properties and eliminate the allocation to managed property CreatedBy. Attempt uncheck the Include in the full-text index but is not enabled.

  3. I enter the list within the advanced options, and click in the "Reindex list" option.

  4. I wait several days for next scheduled crawl, but searches for the field "Created by" continue returning results.

Is it enough to remove the relationship between crawled and managed property? How I can allow editing the "Include the full-text index" option?

Do you need to execute the option "Re-index site" or is it enough to "Re-index list"? How I can check the full crawl has been successfully run on SharePoint online?

Am I missing something to remove this column in searches?
