[ckan-dev] multilingual extension and searching datasets

Wed Sep 25 09:59:55 UTC 2013

Hello Ryan,

I tested this behaviour in my CKAN deployment and the search feature is
working well with the term translations. Did you do this "$ paster
--plugin=ckan search-index rebuild
--config=/etc/ckan/default/production.ini (or development.ini)" correctly?

BR,

Jorge
