I am not able to get search hits from fallback language.

Say I have set fallback for en-CA to en-GB. Navigating and seeing content is no problems.

When I perform a search however, I just get hits on pages/content that are published on current language. I wish to get hits from the fallback language (en-GB) as well.

I have implemented a FallbackLanguageRoutingFactory which inherits from LanguageRoutingFactory and an Initialization Module for IndexingModule which adds singleton.

I am not able to get the result as expected.

Could this be due to the demo index I am using?!

Using EPiserver.Find.Cms 16.4.1

When performing a search, the language context of the query matters. If you're searching in en-CA, the search provider might only return results in that language, unless explicitly configured to include fallback.

You might need to manually include fallback languages in your search query. For example:

var searchLanguages = new[] { "en-CA", "en-GB" }; // include fallback
var results = searchClient
    .Search<YourContentType>()
    .Filter(x => x.Language.MatchAny(searchLanguages))
    .GetResult();

Are you using typed or unified search?
