I have a website with a ton of internal content.  This site also provides single sign-on access to other related  non-dnn resources.

I've figured out how to use iSearchable  to get DNN to index my custom module's content.  Works great, but now I've been asked to get that external content to show up in the global site search as well.  

I wrote a little custom module that queries the remote content and adds it the search, but the URL's are fouled up.  For example they end up showing as "http://dnnportal/http://externalsite/etc.aspx".

I don't think I understand what is creating the link that shows up in the search.  When building search items I provide a Module ID, Tab ID, GUID or SearchKey.  The core code is taking that and creating the URL for me.  It seems it always creates internal links that point to my DNN portal and appends .ASPX to the end.

Can I get the system to link outwardly?

Any advice would be appreciated.  And yes - I realize the whole idea is a bit wonky.

Thanks,

Greg
