What is a Content Crawler in SharePoint Server 2010?
Using Content Crawler, the results are returned from the Search service application’s content index based on the user’s query. The content index contains content that is crawled by the Search service application, and includes text content and metadata for each content item.
Benefits of using content crawler for crawling content with SharePoint Enterprise Search
By querying the Search service application’s content index for search results, you can do the following:
- Sort results by relevance
- Control how frequently the content index is updated
- Specify what metadata is crawled
- Perform a single backup operation for crawled content
