Solr searching in localized values in any language when English is current

[Former Member]

Want end users of site to be able to search for keywords in all localized fields. And be able to find German, French, ... words even if the search bar has keywords in 3 languages.

In HMC we added description and summary to index fields and checked the localized check boxes.

Now when we change user's current language to German and search with a word in German description it matches. Great. But we want to be able to do same when English is the current language so a multi lingual person could just search for a term or a mix of terms in mixed languages and still get relevant hits. Example "shoes weiß"

Want all white shoes to be listed.

You can add a custom value provider in the solr index config for a field that would return the strings for all languages.
