search you must configure TET PDF IFilter to index the property (see Section 3.4, »Custom
Metadata Properties«, page 42). This will instruct TET PDF IFilter to create a crawled
property. Then you must make a new managed property available in the Advanced
Search page as follows:
> Log on to the SharePoint site at and navigate to Advanced Search. This is the search
form where we want to add a new managed property under Add property restrictions...
at the bottom of the page.
> In the upper-right corner of the page, click Site Actions. In the drop-down menu that
opens, click Edit Page. This will change the look of the page and adds controls for
modifying the page.
> In the upper-right corner of the box titled Advanced Search Box, click edit. In the dropdown
menu that opens, select Modify Shared Web Part. This surrounds the Advanced
Search Box with a dashed line, and to the right a new box appears which is also titled
Advanced Search Box. It contains entries Search box, Scopes, Properties, etc.
