Issue in performing search using advanced search web part with any of these keywords.

Question

Hi,
I am implementing advanced search web part, and i have added few columns [  these columns are doc lib columns and NOT site columns ],property restrictions dropdown.
and when i  try to search for the documents,  contents from the subsites with the applied item from the property restrictions dropdown and with  "contains" keyword , and  filled-in the "any of these keywords"
textbox,
the search results  are not displayed , though there are multiple documents which has the keywords.
am i missing any steps  here.? i have ensured that managed properties  were created and added in the properties.xml file in the adv.search web part's properties.

thnx for the reply.
here is my xml file details:
<PropertyDef Name="DocComments" DataType="text" DisplayName="Comments"/>
    <PropertyDef Name="CreatedBy" DataType="text" DisplayName="Created By"/>
    <PropertyDef Name="ModifiedBy" DataType="text" DisplayName="Last Modified By"/>

    <PropertyDef Name="ProjectOWSTEXT" DataType="text" DisplayName="Project Name"/>
    <PropertyDef Name="LocationOWSTEXT" DataType="text" DisplayName="Location"/>
    <PropertyDef Name="DisciplineOWSTEXT" DataType="text" DisplayName="Discipline"/>
  </PropertyDefs>
  <ResultTypes>
    <ResultType DisplayName="All Results" Name="default">
      <KeywordQuery/>
      <PropertyRef Name="Author" />
      <PropertyRef Name="Description" />
      <PropertyRef Name="FileName" />
      <PropertyRef Name="Size" />
      <PropertyRef Name="Path" />
      <PropertyRef Name="Write" />
      <PropertyRef Name="CreatedBy" />
      <PropertyRef Name="ModifiedBy" />
      <PropertyRef Name="WellOWSTEXT" />
      <PropertyRef Name="BlockOWSTEXT" />
      <PropertyRef Name="ProjectOWSTEXT" />
      <PropertyRef Name="LocationOWSTEXT" />
      <PropertyRef Name="DisciplineOWSTEXT" />
    </ResultType>
  </ResultTypes>
</root>
am using the managedproperties without spaces. the problem is that, when i give  the word/words
in the "any of these words" textbox and  if i give a value with the "contains" dropdown 
its not allwoing me give proper results.
After adding these property restrictions i have done the full crawl again.
@Steven Adnrews: i have done the full crawl, multiple times. Though these columns are NOT created as site columns, it came as managed properties in my Srch Serv.Appln, search schema page.
@Fabian: i am not getting your point.Can you pls tell,where will I see the xsl. i  think, the xsl editor and xsl configuration has been replaced by html display templates in SP 2013 Search.
