Sitefinity can index data items that are managed on external systems. For example, if you have blog posts, which are managed on an external system, by retrieving values of the posts' data fields, adding them to a search document, and updating the index, the blog posts are indexed in Sitefinity CMS.
The data content that you want to index must be compatible with Sitefinity CMS Search. This means that the fields that you want to participate in the index must be of type string, int, or DateTime.
