[ckan-dev] multilingual extension and searching datasets

Wed Sep 25 11:30:16 UTC 2013

Hi Ryan,

did you add all the *_stop.txt files? And then restarted solr/jetty? In the
Swiss portal the multilingual search works (see
http://opendata.admin.ch/fr/dataset) as excpected, which means, that a user
can search in any language and receives all possible results (i.e. if there
is a dataset "computer", both searches "computer" and "ordinateur" return
the dataset, no matter in which language you view the site).

Regards Stefan
