We have some information in the Connection table in Dataverse that I would like to surface through the Dataverse search bar at the top of my model-driven app. I've gone through Configure Dataverse search to improve search results and performance - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn and I understand the basics of adding a table to be searched. But the Connection table doesn't seem to be available in Manage search index > Select tables to index for Dataverse search, even though the table and its Quick Find View are part of my solution. The article linked above doesn't mention Connection as a table that can't be searched, but maybe it is?
@David_Schrag Certain actions on certain system tables are restricted by Microsoft and in some cases 'Connection' is an example of such tables.
Looking at the table metadata attributes I can see that there is a property called CanEnableSyncToExternalSearchIndex. The value of this is 'False' for the Connection table (but 'True' for many other tables. For example 'Connection Reference). This makes me think that enabling Connection table for Dataverse Search is disabled at the platform level.

You can use the Metadata Browser plugin in the XrmToolbox to quickly review table metadata: https://www.xrmtoolbox.com/plugins/MsCrmTools.MetadataBrowser/
This appears to be one of the 'Managed Properties' for tables, which from the greyed out natures of these controls looks like can't be modified:
