- 14. Crawled & Managed A crawled property is content and metadata that is extracted from an item, such as a document or a URL, during a crawl. ! To include the content and metadata of crawled properties in the search index, you map crawled properties to managed properties. Managed properties can have a large number of settings, or attributes. These attributes determine how the contents are shown in search results.
