How to pull node reference into view on a search index? I'm wondering how to pull the node reference into a view based on a search index. I did this with my earlier product catalog by adding a relationship to the product referenced node, adding the node reference, and then rewriting my image's output as a link.

With the view set on my search index, I don't have the option to add a relationship to the referenced node, so I'm not sure where to pull the node reference from to link  the images back to their product displays.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
A search API based view can just take fields and information which are put into the index. Go to the index settings page and add the reference field. Then you can add addtional fields and relations connected to the reference.
