View all Crawled Properties for a SharePoint Document
I often need to examine all the properties of a document. This is most useful for researching issues relating to the crawl property values
In this little PowerShell function I grab the SPItem, and split the internal XML with line feeds. Here’s the function:
Function Get-CrawledPropertyNames([string]$DocURL){ $DocURL = $DocURL.Replace("%20"," ") $webfound = $false $weburl = $DocURL while ($webfound -eq $false) { if ($weburl.Contains("/")){ $weburl = $weburl.Substring(0,$weburl.LastIndexOf("/")) $web = get-spweb -identity $weburl -ea 0 if ($web -ne $null){ $webfound = $true } }else{ Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red "The Web could not be found" return -1 } } $web.GetFile($DocURL).item.xml.Replace("' ", "' n").Replace("" ", "`" `n") } |
#To use, simply replace with the url of a file within a document library, here’s an example:
#Get-CrawledPropertyNames "http ://SharePoint/sites/SPWeb/Library/folder/FileName.DOC" |

Can this be modified to view list items?
Absolutely, list items have properties much the same as a document does. Just use the SPItem object and iterate through its properties.
