If the crawler was set to mirror folder structure of the SharePoint site, each SharePoint site is represented as a folder with the prefix [Site], differentiating folders representing SharePoint sites from folders representing SharePoint list types. Each [Site] folder contains subfolders for each list type found on that SharePoint site. For example, all documents in the SharePoint Crawler site are located in the Shared Documents folder under the [Site] SharePoint Crawler site folder.
