sharepoint search multi value managed property

Question

I'm working on Sharepoint 2013 and I have a site column named Location tied to a taxonomy, you will have the corresponding managed property to query against: owstaxIdLocation.

I want to create two query using Search functionality:

1) search all data with a certain content type and owstaxIdLocation equal to value1 OR value2;

2) search all data with a certain content type and owstaxIdLocation equal to value1 AND value2 (e.g. value1;value2).

My problem is with multi value managed property owstaxIdLocation. For example:

ContentTypeId:0x0... AND owstaxIdLocation=???

How can I do it?

Answer 1

ContentTypeId:0x0... AND (owstaxIdLocation:"GP0|#GUID" OR owstaxIdLocation:"GP0|#OtherTermGUID")

Or don't use owstaxIdLocation. Search crawled properties for ows_Location or whatever your column is called and create a managed property for that. Then search for term labels rather than IDs.

See MSDN (Data format for Managed Metadata) for more details about using managed properties.

Answer 2

Try with this query for 1.)

{| owstaxIdLocation:{Page.Location} }

This will return each value from owstaxIdLocation on page with that multi value property on it.

(ContentTypeId:0x0...) 
AND
(
( owstaxIdLocation:#GUID1 )
OR 
( owstaxIdLocation:#GUID2 )
) 

for 2.)

(ContentTypeId:0x0...) 
AND
(
( owstaxIdLocation:#GUID1 )
AND
( owstaxIdLocation:#GUID2 )
) 

you can find GUID in Term Store Management for each term
