Method for OnPremise SharePoint

In this section you can find a semi-automated method for Search Schema Configuration on an OnPremise SharePoint

You can configure searching in the Tags column with a PowerShell script. You have to use this script on your SharePoint 2013 server. This script can be used to restore default settings as well. 

Prerequisites for Setting Up PowerSearch

• A SharePoint admin account
• Installed SharePoint 2013 Management Shell 
• The file 'on-premise.ps1'

Steps to Follow to Set Up PowerSearch

1. Place the file 'on-premise.ps1' on server, preferably to 'C:\Install\PowerTaggingDeploy\ SetupSearchSchema\'
2. Run SharePoint 2013 Management Shell as admin
3. Enter 'cd C:\Install\PowerTaggingDeploy\ SetupSearchSchema\' in the command prompt.
4. Enter 'on-premise.ps1'.
5. Confirm with 'Y'.
6. You will get a success message 'ManagedProperty Tags2 was mapped to CrawledProperty ows_Tags'.

If you don’t have privileges for this action, follow these steps:

1. Open the Central Administration of SharePoint.
2. Click on Manage service applications.
3. Select Search Service Application from the list and click Administrators in the ribbon, at the top of the page.
