__Raw_bodyText in External index

Does anyone know why the __Raw_bodyText field in the external index are not searchable? Or better yet, how to make these searchable? Hell, a third question - where did it come from? My external index seems to have a __Raw_ prefixed field for every property, some of which are indexed and searchable and others that aren’t.

I know I can add custom fields in the GatheringNodeData event, but figured if it’s already in there, why store it twice?
