Searching with Translated Text
When a user searches, the browser locale setting determines which translated text attribute values are returned (if available).
* 
For translated text attribute values to be properly searched, the localeForNullAuthoringLanguage property must be set. For more information, see Setting Behavior when Authoring Language is Null.
* 
For translations to be returned in the Search Results table, the translated text attribute must be added to a table view for the Search Results table.
If the browser locale matches the authoring language for an object, then the master text values (the original source text attribute values) are searched.
If the browser locale matches a target language, then the translated text values are searched. If there is no translated text value present for that target language, then the object is not returned in the search results.
If the browser locale does not match any target language, the master text is searched, regardless of the source language.
