It can be done by modifying following two files.
/catalog/model/catalog/product.php
/catalog/model/catalog/category.php
Both of these files contain code to search for given string. Code search given string only in the customer language. If you want to allow customers to search in all languages, you need to remove language conditions from search queries in these 2 files.
If you need technical assistance for this change, you can contact us to get it done for a small fee.

correct, but what do you plan to share back ? After all, OC is not built to share things, but to create Money, for everyone involved.

One reason, I am here too, I guess, would I be a 'real' Coder, I would not need to waste
my time, downloading the entire OC-World, just to be able to have a matching code,
somewhere, in case I'm gonna need it some day
So, probably because of the bad
feeling, doing such weird hings, I try to give back a little, once in a while...
Good Luck!

To keep it simple and short (have not the time like some others here ..).
What you have to do is to remove several instances of
Code: Select all
$this->config->get('config_language_id')
inside those 2 files knowband.plugins mentioned.
Simply open those files, and search for it.
In the model/catalog/product.php for example inside these functions:
and
For example inside the function getProducts it would be
Code: Select all
AND ps.customer_group_id = '" . (int)$this->config->get('config_customer_group_id') . "'
If you need more help, you can contact me.
