[EP-tech] Re: How to set a field to be multilang (search)

Hi all,
As promised, I'm back with the search within multilang fields:). My problem is that it seems that I cannot search correctly within my multilingual title and abstract fields (ml_title and ml_abstract respectively), unless my dataset is reindexed manually.
What I've done so far is the following: I've added a script for each type of search (advanced and simple) that basically replaces the original fields with their multilingual counterparts. So I've added archives/myrepo/cfg/cfg.d/eprint_search_advanced_local.pl: 

$c->{search}->{advanced} =
{
    search_fields => [
        { meta_fields => [ "documents" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "ml_title" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "creators_name" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "ml_abstract" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "date" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "collection" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "keywords" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "subjects" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "type" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "department" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "editors_name" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "ispublished" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "refereed" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "publication" ] },
        { meta_fields => [ "documents.format" ] },
    ],
    preamble_phrase => "cgi/advsearch:preamble",
    title_phrase => "cgi/advsearch:adv_search",
    citation => "result",
    page_size => 20,
    order_methods => {
        "byyear"     => "-date/creators_name/title",
        "byyearoldest"   => "date/creators_name/title",
        "byname"     => "creators_name/-date/title",
        "bytitle"    => "title/creators_name/-date"
    },
    default_order => "byyear",
    show_zero_results => 1,
};

and archives/testpamak1/cfg/cfg.d/eprint_search_simple_local.pl:

$c->{search}->{simple} =
{
    search_fields => [
        {
            id => "q",
            meta_fields => [
                "documents",
                "ml_title",
                "ml_abstract",
                "creators_name",
                "date"
            ]
        },
    ],
#   preamble_phrase => "cgi/search:preamble",
    title_phrase => "cgi/search:simple_search",
    citation => "result",
    page_size => 20,
    order_methods => {
        "byyear"     => "-date/creators_name/title",
        "byyearoldest"   => "date/creators_name/title",
        "byname"     => "creators_name/-date/title",
        "bytitle"    => "title/creators_name/-date"
    },
    default_order => "byyear",
    show_zero_results => 1,
};
When I search for a keyword which exists in one of my deposits' ml_title field, both search functions return nothing, unless I manually reindex my dataset. After that, searches work as expected. 

What exactly am I doing wrong and needs to be taken care of?

Thanks all in advance!

George.
