site: operator doesn't work with connector feeds

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Index content with a connector.
2. Search for results.
3. Search for results using a site: operator and the index content's display 
URL.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected the same output for steps 2 and 3. But in step 3 I get no results. 
This also affects the 
"More results from <site>" links, which consistently return no results.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

GSA 5.0.0.G.14, Connector Manager 1.0.2.

Please provide any additional information below.

 I have content indexed with a display URL that looks like

    http://swift.example.com:9510/Livelink95/livelink?...

If I search for

    steeleye

I get results. If I search for

    steeleye site:swift.example.com
or
    steeleye site:swift.example.com:9510
or
    steeleye site:swift.example.com:9510/Livelink95
or
    steeleye site:swift.example.com:9510/Livelink95/livelink

I get no results.

Since the internal URL for these documents is

    googleconnector://dostoevsky.localhost/doc?docid=...

I tried

    steeleye site:dostoevsky
and
    steeleye site:dostoevsky.localhost
and
    steeleye site:dostoevsky.localhost/doc
and
    steeleye site:googleconnector://dostoevsky.localhost

Given that inmeta searches require some characters to be URL-escaped, I tried 
URL-escaping the 
host and port:

    steeleye site:swift.example.com%3A9510

That doesn't work. I noticed, however, that a query like

    foo site:www.example.com:8080

works on the Google web site, so the URL escaping doesn't appear to be 
necessary.

Finally, I thought to look at the Crawl Diagnostics page, which I know is not 
very helpful for 
connector feeds, but it has a strange entry. It has one entry, for 
"internal_host". Clicking that link 
shows one crawled URL for "googleconnector:". Clicking that shows one document 
with a File/
Directory of "/'. Clicking that link is an error. But to undigress, I tried

    steeleye site:internal_host

and that returned no results, but 

    steeleye site:googleconnector:

worked. Adding one or two trailing slashes works, too. Adding any more of the 
internal URL (or 
extra slashes) fails, as we saw before.

P2, or really P1.5. It's an existing feature that is broken.
