Search problem within different translations of the object

I have the following problem:
I defined three translations for my object (english, polish and russian). ContentObjectLocale in site.ini was set to
pol-PL. As a result during publishing the object the words from polish translation were added only to ezsearch_word table in the database and this affected search conditions - only polish version was searchable.
Then I changed ContentObjectLocale to eng-GB and republished my object again, only words from english translation were added to ezsearch_word table and only english version of my object was serchable.
The same situation was with russian translation.
If anybody knows how to deal with it, please help me.

I have a follow up question to this search problem.
As a bug resolution, Bård Farstad (04/02/2004 8:54 am) wrote:
"As of version 3.3 eZ publish indexes all translations of an object and will return a hit on any translation when searching."
I've installed ezPublish 3.3 and I've built a multilingual site. For each language site I have a search page, and I only want results in the current language, e.g. english site returns search result pages with english content. According to my interpretation of what Bård says, if I search for a particular word that exists in several translations of the same node, the search engine will return the node several times. I should then be able to look at the object.default_language and language_code and if they are not equal, discard the result. But I can't get it to work...I think I've missed something. Is it through the
contentobject_version_object.translation.language_code that I see the current translation language or some other value???
Please, help!

After some more investigation, it seems that even if a word is positively in several translations of the same node, the search engine only returns the node once...and I can't read in which translation the word was found.
In searchresult.tpl, I am reading the results from the section:
{section name=SearchResult loop=$search_result show=$search_result sequence=array(bglight,bgdark)}
