Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing SPSearchManagedProperty DSC resource in the SharePointDsc PowerShell module and compare its patterns with the proposed SPSearchCrawledProperty properties. Done means a resource can create or modify crawled properties using SearchApplication, Name, PropSet, Category, IsNameEnum, VariantType, and IsMappedToContents for farm replication scenarios.

Description

While this could be considered content, I believe it is important to include the option to modify or create Crawled Properties via DSC. I recently ran into an issue where a client was trying to replicate a Prod farm in Dev, and had extracted all the SPSearchManagedProperty from his production farm, but several of them were mapped to Crawled properties that did not yet exist on the destination farm. While I don't believe it would be widely used (since Crawled Properties are normally automatically created), I believe it would be essential for some of those edge cases.
