Search Across All Languages With Polylang
Makes the site search return results from every Polylang language instead of only the current one, so visitors find content that has not been translated yet.

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', function ( $query ) {
if ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search() && function_exists( 'pll_current_language' ) ) {
$query->set( 'lang', '' );
}
} );Notes
Each result still links to the post in its own language.
