SYMPTOMS

When using meta tags as custom properties, you may not be able to retrieve the value even though you have cached the property and added it to the columns to be retrieved. You can search for the properties and return results, but the value of the property is not returned for display.

CAUSE

This may be the result of caching meta properties as a non-string data type. Index Server 2.0 and and Windows 2000 Indexing Service only support meta tags as string data.
