[EP-tech] Re: Finding selected lang from configuration
I don't believe virtual fields will get searched because they aren't stored in the database.
You should add the multilang field to the search form, but I'm actually not sure how it will behave.

Meaning that, based on the selected language, EPrints will search the (dynamically generated) appropriate language title field for example? Because I'm trying to test it, but I'm facing some difficulties using the extended search menu, and I'm not sure if this is the problem (putting the title ). Simple search works just fine, but I assume that simple search searches all fields?
