Search Refinement Panel

Question

How can I get the preferred name of the "People:Manager"-crawled property in the search refinement panel instead of domain\Accountname?

I mapped a mananaged property to this crawled property but only get domain\accountname?

Can this be done using xslt?

[Update: My Solution] My solution was to build a timerjob which looks in every userprofile and writes the displayname of the manager in another property. You can use this property on the refinement panel.

Steffen,

you could do the following: do a webservice call to the search service, query each domain/username and retrieve it's displayname. Replace the refiner display values with the returned displaynames.

But I do think that the displayname should be indexed, too. you might investigate it a bit.
