Creating KM Property Filter

Question

Hi,
I have created a custom property filter  which adds a new custom property to property map.
I have 2 questions:
1. Where can I see the custom property and its value? Is it virtual?
2. Is this custom property (testProperty) indexable? If yes, do I need to follow any additional steps?
Below is my code in filter() method:
IPropertyMap map = this.predecessorFilter.filter();
IPropertyName testProperty = new PropertyName(IWcmConst.SAP_WCM_NAMESPACE, "testProperty");
if (map.containsProperty(testProperty)) {
               IMutableProperty mutableProperty = map.get(testProperty).getMutable();
               mutableProperty.setStringValue("Enforced by Filter");
               IMutablePropertyMap mutablePropertyMap = map.getMutable();
               mutablePropertyMap.put(mutableProperty);
               return mutablePropertyMap;
          } else {
               IMutableProperty testProp = new Property(testProperty, "TEST_PROPERTY_VALUE").getMutable();     
               //testProp.setStringValue("HelloUpdated");
               IMutablePropertyMap mutableMap = map.getMutable();
               mutableMap.put(testProp);
               return mutableMap;

Hi,
To make a Property indexable you must firstly create it like a "template" in System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> Global Services -> Property Metadata -> Properties. In here you have to activate the setting "Indexable" for the new created property. Furthermore if you now assign such a property to a resource by code, it will be also visible in standard KM UI.
