Japanese support? #45

Closed RickCogley closed 3 years ago

Hi - just wondering, does your search plugin, in its standard setup, work for CJK languages? Japanese, for instance, doesn't use spaces, so search engines have to index content a bit differently from languages that use spaces between words.

(I see I can use algolia, and I know that indexes Japanese (and CJK generally), but I just wanted to ask if the standard flavor will work for non-space-y languages).

Thanks in advance.

Hi @RickCogley , I have no experience with languages like these and the plugin. I would assume the sqlite provider won't work for the reasons you outlined. So using Algolia might be the better choice since you state that Algolia supports these.

Thanks for the answer @distantnative. If I try it, I'll try algolia then :-)
