Does Lightning Connect search actually work? Does it require custom query option?

I've been trying out Lightning Connect using this provider: http://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/ and the Customer feed.

The documentation suggests that a global / SOSL search will work using $filter even if the source doesn't support a custom query option. However, even when I check "Include in Salesforce Searches", I see no sign that Salesforce is trying to include the object in the search. It doesn't show up as an object in advanced search, and a SOSL query will accept the object type but return nothing.

Can somebody give a definite answer if it actually works at all and if so, more about what's required?
