Overview of crawled and managed properties in SharePoint Online

A crawled property is content and metadata that is extracted from an item, such as a document or a URL, during a crawl. A crawled property can be an author, title, or subject. 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. The search schema contains the attributes on managed properties and the mapping between crawled properties and managed properties. For more information, see Overview of the search schema in SharePoint Server and Manage the search schema in SharePoint Online.
