Custome EA's not working and causing errors

SethHickel

I am attempting to make some customizations to the tag UI and to advanced search for "Expiration date", "Original Site Source", and "Vendor Source."

I have added the three items to datacapture.cfg: See attached

I made corresponding changes to FieldMapping.xml: Also see attached.

After making these changes I purged the collection for this branch, stopped and started the search and index services and
attempted to search against EA's that I had tagged a test file with.

I am unable to get a return for Expiration date (even though it shows in the properties for the file).

When I try to search for Original Site Source or Vendor Source I get "Search query not valid" error.
(again, I can see these values in the properties of the file) See attached for error.

In addition, I get no return when I search for "Keywords"; again, I can see these in the properties of the file.

I am able to search and get results for other EA's such as CreateDate.

I must be missing something since I seem to be unable to search against any custom EA that I tag with.

OK - solved.

All my configuration files were correct, however my branches.cfg had listed /default/main/MyBranchLevel instead of /default/main/MyBranchLevel/AWorkArea. So, when I was searching at the workarea level instead of the branch level I was not getting returns.

If I search from the branch level I am getting returns.

Hope this helps someone else.
