Exclude crawled properties from searching by using Windows PowerShell (FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint)
Applies to: FAST Search Server 2010
One way to exclude a crawled property from searching is to set the MapToContents flag on the category to $false and all new crawled properties in that category will no longer get mapped to the full-text index. An alternative approach is to exclude individual crawled properties by setting the IsMappedToContents property on the crawled property object. This will override whatever value its category has for MapToContents.
