When this happens, text_ml (the name that I`ve come up with for the actual text_general type field) indexes the lightly analyzed content and then I can query it because it's included in the "f.title.qf=title_ml,title_en,title_fr,..." alias that I have set up. The title_XY field that is attempted to be indexed when the language is not configured gets ignored by a dynamic field that catches unknown fields (as per the example in the example schema.xml). > > But if you need it, can't it be just title_generic in the schema.

Now, what worries me a bit is the fact that I have a copyField set up from "title_*" to "title_ml" to do what I have mentioned above. My worry is that the copyField might also cause "title_ml" (since it matches the wildcard pattern) to be copied (redundantly) to "title_ml". I have not yet tested this in practice, but I hope it is not an issue (hoping that Solr is smart enough).
