# FT:Crawl Started Event Class
[!INCLUDE[appliesto-ss-asdb-xxxx-xxx-md](../../includes/appliesto-ss-asdb-xxxx-xxx-md.md)]
  The **FT:Crawl Started** event class indicates that a full-text crawl (population) has started. Use this event class to check if a crawl request is actually being picked up by worker tasks.
