# External source
An {doctitle} is a [source](https://docs.coveo.com/en/246/) which is [indexed](https://docs.coveo.com/en/204/) using a [connector](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2734/) other than that of the relevant Coveo integration.
For example, using a Web source instead of a Sitecore or Salesforce source.
