Question

The content of many web sites is being rendered with the usage of JavaScript after the page has been loaded on client side. Modern search crawlers like Google execute those scripts and index the updated DOM.

Does the SharePoint Search crawler the same?

Solution

No, it does not. You can watch how the crawler works against a web site by using Fiddler as a proxy for the crawler.
