• Crawled property: metadata extracted from
the documents/items during the crawl.
• Managed property: can appear in refined
searches and helps users perform more
successful queries
14. Crawled/Managed Properties

– Map to the same managed property if reasonable
(Title, Subject, Location, etc.)

need (index size!)
