viewing full content of records in GSA index

We are currently using content feeds to push data into our
GSA.  Each
feed item is populated with several custom metadata items,
which we
use to enable different kinds of scoped searches.

When problems with scoped searches arise, it's very helpful
to check
the metadata content of a record, and verify that it has
been
populated correctly.  One way I've found to do this is to do
a search
that returns the item in question, and remove the
"proxystylesheet"
parameter from the search URL, which will cause the
"raw" XML of the
search results to be displayed.

My question is about those instances where I can see the
item in
question from Crawl Diagnostics, but I cannot figure out a
query that
returns the item in a search.  Is there any way to view the
XML of a
record outside of when that record is returned by a search
query?  I
was hoping this would be possible via Crawl Diagnostics, but
none of
the links available there seem to provide that.

You could use the info: query for this.

For example:

info:http://host.domain.c
om/page.html

This would be put in the search box and is described here:

Another way to display the metadata is to modify your
frontend XSLT.
There's a parameter which will display a result's metadata
(set
show_meta_tags to 1).

If you know the name of the metadata, you can pull all (or
at least
1000) the pages with the tag by just using requiredfields
parameter.
Don't provide a query, and this should return all the pages
with the
your_metatag metatag.

/search?
output=xml_no_dtd&sort=date:R:d1&am
p;filter=0&site=your_col&client=your_xslt&proxys
tylesheet=your_xslt&getfields=*&requiredfields=your_
metatag


If you haven't already, request it as a feature (I have). 
The more
client that requests a feature, the greater chance that
Google will
incorporate into the product.  Also request that they
include the meta
filters in the search report.
