Would that really help? As I understand it, copyfield takes the raw, not
yet analyzed field value. I cannot see yet the advantage of this
"text"-field over the current situation with no text_<lang> fields at all.
The copied-to text field has to be language agnostic with no stemming at
all, so it would miss many hits. Or is there a way to combine many
differently stemmed variants into one field to be able to search against
all of them at once? That would be great indeed!
