Question

Hi all,
I am using SharePoint 2013 Online and my Managed Metadata values for a Search refiner are showing as follows. I used these instructions: http://blogs.technet.com/b/sharepoint_made_easy/archive/2013/03/19/step-by-step-configuration-to-add-custom-refiners-in-the-refinement-panel-of-search-results-page-for-sharepoint-online.aspx

It appears that the issue is tying the property to ows_taxid instead of ows_fieldname. I am missing a few Managed Properties, but will track that down via another forum post.

Does anyone know how I can re-index/re-crawl the content in SharePoint 2013 Online?

I have waited 24 hours and they still show as GUIDs. I have tried re-indexing the libraries as well. Any clues, this is odd.

I have exactly the same issue. I have re-mapped to the crawled property using just ows_fieldname but 24 hours later the refiners are still displaying GUIDs identical to yours. Did you get any further with this, please?
Cheers

I just encountered the same issue on a client's SharePoint 2013 farm. And I also was able to fix it by removing the Crawled Property mappings that refererred to the ID's.Thursday, June 12, 2014 1:28 PM
