Alfresco Patch to Solr6 multiple locale search
Described at issue ALF-21940
DISCLAIMER
SOLR 6 can be configured to work as SOLR 4 was working in previous Alfresco versions by uncommenting alfresco.cross.locale.datatype.N properties in /opt/solr6/solrhome/conf/shared.properties.
alfresco.cross.locale.datatype.0={http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0}text
alfresco.cross.locale.datatype.1={http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0}content
alfresco.cross.locale.datatype.2={http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0}mltext
You can perform this operation and there is no need to install this addon.
Once this shared.properties file has been modified is required to rebuild SOLR indexes. After that, every searching will be performed in Alfresco with cross-language support and you'll get the same behaviour that is provided by this patch.
