MOSS 2007 Enterprise Search: Metadata Property Mappings

When adding a new Managed Property under Search Settings in a Shared Service Provider (SSP), you may encounter the ambiguous error:

The settings could not be saved because of an internal error: name

This could occur if you have spaces or underscores in the name. Remove all spaces and you should be good to go!

I had this problem with the underscores which I eventually took out after reading this blog. It still gave the same error so I saved it as the name of the field I was trying to map it to "fieldname" instead of company_filedname and then went back and renamed it after it saved to (company)fieldname. It wouldn't let me do this initially.
