Walter Underwood commented on SOLR-814:
---------------------------------------
This seems like a bad idea. Hirigana and katakana are used quite differently in
Japanese. They are not interchangeable.
I was the engineer for Japanese support in Ultraseek for years and even visited
our distributor there, but no one ever asked for this feature. They asked for a
lot of things, but never this.
It is very useful, maybe essential, to normalize full-width and half-width
versions of hirigana, katakana, and ASCII.

> Japanese Hiragana and Katakana character sets can be easily translated
> between. This filter normalizes all Hiragana characters to their Katakana
> counterpart, allowing for indexing and searching using either.
