Sharepoint 2013 Search Experience

It is generally good experience in SharePoint search. However there are a few issues needs to wait maybe until the service pack out.

1. The search result web part is not able to return custom managed property, it seems to be an existing bug that any extra managed property can not return the data even it is shown on REST.

2. Event the document id feature is activated, the docId managed property is only returning integer even after a full crawl. A second managed property has to be created to point to the previous crawl property as ows__l_docId, then it works.

3. For the content search web part, there are limitation to allow five managed properties in the design template, and the paging has no page numbers.

4. When the search crawling is stuck in "Full Crawling" status, reboot worked.

And some references regarding to search,

Have you tried using dlcDocIdOWSTEXT managed property instead? It seem to return expected result and is OOTB.
