Managed Properties in FAST 2010 Search Server

Is there a difference between creating Managed Properties between SharePoint 2010 Search and FAST 2010 Search?

The answer here is: Yes… the process of making a property searchable is a bit different between FAST and SP Search.

FAST can only filter/property search on Managed Properties. Managed Properties are derived from crawled properties and are not automatically created like in SP Search.

FAST does come with some default Managed Properties like Author, Site, Name, etc… and that’s why those properties work on you FAST system and not the newly created “Reference No”.

Here are the instructions on how to list/add/edit a Managed Property in FAST.

Try creating a managed property for your fields, recrawl, test searching on that managed property.

During both these wizards, in the Input Parameters, your SP's Input Parameter will be listed. Here, you need to create a filter, which sends out it's value to the SP's filter.

Validate a SharePoint Date Field against Current Date in Javascript

Consider the following scenario: You have a SharePoint Site which has its regional settings set to English (UK) - so that the date format becomes dd/mm/yyyy in all date pickers You would like to validate a particular date field in your List or Document Library against the current date If the validation does not pass, you should not allow the form to save So what the script does is: Uses the sputility (check my previous posts and also look at http://sputility.codeplex.com) to get the particular SharePoint date field It comes out as a date datatype, so I cast it to string Since the format is in dd/mm/yyyy and Javascript compare and date functions work only with mm/dd/yyyy, I am converting them back to that format then using UTC string conversions and comparing... Enjoy! <script type="text/javascript"> function PreSaveAction() {  var createdate = SPUtility.GetSPField('Date of Creation').GetValue();  var createdatestr=createdate.toString();      ...
