All extras of a dataset will be indexed for search. You can either
actually add them via the form or the API to the dataset, or as you
are already doing, just add them on before_index.

If I remember correctly only the resources description, url and
formats are indexed (res_description, res_url and res_format).

There isn't a way currently to index the actual documents I'm afraid.
