Support for japanese fuzzy search ( Hiragana/Katakana/Romaji ) #456

Closed mastef closed 4 years ago

I just wanted to check if this fuzzy search library supports Japanese fuzzy search. If I understood it correctly then searching for ワナカナ would also highlight WanaKana and わなかな

See https://github.com/WaniKani/WanaKana

I'm asking because I'm evaluating fuzzy search engines for my extension, and have also received a Japanese fuzzy search feature request.

I would love for Fuse.js to support different languages. I've been thinking about it for a while. Unfortunately, at this moment, it's difficult for me to justify the time investment to do that. It's quite laborious 😓

Hey @krisk maybe you can do some pointers on what/where might need to be changed/updated to support localization? We use fuse for our in-browser search and I might have time to add support for some other languages (as a starter to search in Japanese)

Some hints where to start would be greatly appreciated 👍

@RuslanZavacky potential solution we are using is Kuroshiro.js which implements Kuromoji.js. We convert Kanji, Hiragana, Katana into Romaji. It seems to work well enough.
