Hi,
I have some external link objects in the KM which point to files (HTML, JSP, media files) in a web application on the portal server.
I've created an index which uses the KM folder with the external link objects as datasource. And I've added the parameter "indexContentOfExternalLink = true" to my index to also index the content of the target files.
Indexing of the external link objects works fine. There are no errors. And portal search also returns the external link objects when searching for their names for example. But when I try to search for any content in the target files the portal search doesn't return any results.
The same thing is working fine on a NW 7.0 portal. I was using the same KM folder and KM objects, the same target files, the same TREX, the same index configuration. And the portal search returns some results when searching for content of the target files.
We had the same problem back in 2005: Indexing external CM-Links.
So does anybody know if there are problems with indexing content of target objects of external link objects in the current SP stacks of NW 7.3 and NW 7.4?
Or does anybody have an idea what else could be wrong?
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards,
Robert
