I have a ExternalContentPage that's showing a xml tree of pages. How do I hook it up into site search?

There's no specific API for doing searches on external content at the moment - as the content itself lives in a separate system, each connector will have its own way of managing this, and as yet there's no unified API method for doing so. What sort of connector are you using?

I'm using the WebApiClient to read a xml feed. I looks like the best solution is to import the feed and update it using silverstripe-queuedjobs.

Is it an RSS type feed or just arbitrary XML? If rss, ajshort has an RSS Connector which imports to blog objects that might be helpful.
