When SharePoint crawls a Web page, the last modified date of the Web page that is displayed in the search results is incorrect

SYMPTOMS

When SharePoint Services 3.0 crawls a Web page, the search results do not display the correct value for the Last Modified response header of that page. The value displayed is the actual last time the page was saved.

For example, consider the following scenario:
  • The value of the Last Modified response header of a Web page is set to 10/3/2006.
  • The Web page was last saved on October 20, 2006.
  • SharePoint Services 3.0 crawls the Web page.
In this scenario, the search results incorrectly displays 10/20/2006 as the last modified date of the Web page instead of 10/3/2006.

Note This issue only occurs when the index server is running Windows Server 2008.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
