When you create you external content type, you can create a profile page which displays the item properties (metadata). This form is similar to 'View Properties' page. The same form will be displayed if you click on the identifier field on the External List.
Anyway, the search crawler indexes items and its properties in my external list with no error. They appear on search results properly. But I need the crawler to index the associated document to each item as well. I have exposed the document URL as one of the properties but it seams the crawler doesn't traverse through the document URL. Look like the URL appears as text Search Crawler. Regards, Shahram.
