This crawled property has property-set="7262a2f9-30d0-488f-a34a-126584180f74" and variant-type="31". By default, this crawled property is mapped to the managed property named contenttype.

Example

The following example specifies the MIME type audio/mpeg for items with file name extension .mp3.

<ext name=".mp3" mimetype="audio/mpeg" />

When searching for this item, the MIME type will appear in the managed property named contenttype.
