I was customising a people search result web part this week and couldn't figure out why the mobile phone field was not rendering in the results. I could see it was in the AD properties, was making it through user profile import and then helped it through to managed metadata in the search results, I even checked the raw XML for the search results which showed it there as well. So I was down to checking my XSLT, I had camel cased the name of the field in my select code, as is my habit with coding to make it easily readable, but the XSLT was looking to match the case returned by the search results which was all in lower case.

A quick crrection and refresh and they all appeared as they should. Another little puzzle solved...

Quite often you will need to customise the search results and ensure that your custom metadata mappings are displaying correctly.

To view the raw results, I undertake the following...

a) Edit the results page (results, or people depending on what you are looking to modify

b) Add a new core results web part (again people or results)

c) Add your columns, fixed queries etc

d) Click the Edit XSLT button and replace the XSLT with the following

[code:xml]

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xmp><xsl:copy-of select="*"/></xmp>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

[/code]

Save everything and you can now see the raw results.
