Sharepoint 2010 uses CoreResultsWebPart on People search page in standard Search center. You can control what properties can be shown by this web part using SelectColumns and PropertiesToRetrieve properties (or via web part properties in UI: Display Properties > Fetched Properties). Here you need to specify names of Managed properties (you can find them in Central Administration > Manage Service Applications > Search Service Application > Metadata properties). This properties are mapped on Crawled properties (available on the same page – if you will click appropriate link on top of the page) which are used by Search crawler. There are several categories of Crawled properties. For People search we are interested in People category. Crawled properties from People category are in associated with User Profile Properties (Central Administration > Manage Service Applications > User Profile Service Application > Manage user properties). Some User Profile Properties are in turn mapped to AD attributes (and some are editable by users).
So we have the following mapping chain: Managed property > Crawled property > User profile property > AD attribute. I created a table where summarized all properties and their mappings:
| Managed property | Crawled Properties | User Profile Properties | AD attribute |
| WorkId | - | - | - |
| UserProfile_GUID | People:UserProfile_GUID(Text) | Id | - |
| AccountName | People:AccountName(Text) | Account name | sAMAccountName |

| WorkPhone | People:WorkPhone(Text), ows_WorkPhone(Text), ows_Work_x0020_Phone(Text) | Work phone | telephoneNumber |

As I said you can customize CoreResultsWebPart and use whatever properties you need. But this table may e useful if you need to know what AD attributes are used in standard configuration of People search in Sharepoint 2010.
Thank you, just what I was looking for.
ReplyDeleteAny references back to MS technet articles?
Carry2Web,
ReplyDeleteI created this table by myself, so not sure that you will find it on technet. You may try to find list of mappings between User profile properties and AD attributes, but not whole table.
Hi, I really found this useful, but one thing I was looking for was missing from this chart...
ReplyDeleteI have spent a couple of days figuring it out, so I wanted to post it here for others.
Managed Property : MobilePhone
Crawled Property : People:CellPhone, ows_CellPhone, ows_Cell_x0020_Phone
User Profile Property : CellPhone
AD Mapping : mobile
I really hope this helps (I am unsure of the crawled property, but lifted that from technet).
