SharePoint crawling and indexing are two processes which are used to make the content searchable. Crawling is the act where SharePoint goes through all documents on a website in order to extract both content and metadata.

As described by the Microsoft SharePoint, in SharePoint Online, crawls are automatically scheduled by Microsoft in a predefined period after which the content is searchable within 15 minutes to 1 hour of upload. In SharePoint Online there are three kinds of crawls; these are full crawl (crawls the entire site), Incremental (crawls only changes made since the previous crawl) and Continuous (checks change logs after every 15 minutes).
