Mystery Solved - Crawled Properties in SharePoint (Part 2)

When In Part 1, we looked at a high-level overview of crawled properties then continued on looking at the details that make up crawled properties. In this post, I'll dig into the Crawled Property Category called "Basic". 

Crawled Properties View - Basic

When you click to see what crawled properties are listed for the Basic category, you’ll see several property names that are not mapped to a managed property and the property name is very nondescript. Plus, you’ll even find some with the exact same property name. My, oh, my! What does all this mean?

Crawled Property Category - Basic 

Basic Crawled Property – The Meaning

The following table provides details about each of the crawled properties in the Basic category based on a test environment. The table is sorted by Property Set ID, or GUID, then by Name and includes the following columns:

 

Name – The name of the crawled property

Represented in Crawled Properties View – The name of the crawled property in the Crawled Properties View

Property Name – A description of what the property is

PROPSET – The GUID or Property Set ID

Property Set Description – A description of the property set for which this is a member

Variant Type – The variant type of the property

Variant Type Description – A description of the variant type

Mapped To – A listing of which managed property(ies) this crawled property is mapped to

Indexed – Indicates whether this property is included in the index from an “out of the box” installation.

 

 

NOTE: Your environment may have more or less crawled properties based on the content being crawled.
