Description

How is it possible to search fields that are not part of the original collection?

I've tried you suggestion with the reywood:publish-composite and dburles:collection-helpers packages, and a pure server side solution with maximum:server-transform that returns some custom text fields within the publication.

No matter which approach the search doesn't work on this data fields.
Is there any way to manage this?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the search against fields added through reywood:publish-composite, dburles:collection-helpers, or maximum:server-transform, then trace how custom publication data is handled. Done means documenting or implementing a supported way to search those fields and verifying it with a focused reproduction.
