> As of May 1st, 2019, Japanese era '元号' (Gengo) will be set to '令和' (Reiwa).
> See this article for more details:
> [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-47769566]
> Currently '令和' is splitted up to '令' and '和' by {{JapaneseTokenizer}}. It
> should be tokenized as one word so that Japanese texts including era names
> are searched as users expect. Because the default Kuromoji dictionary
> (mecab-ipadic) has not been maintained since 2007, a one-line patch to the
> source CSV file is needed for this era change.
> Era name is used in many official or formal documents in Japan, so it would
> be desirable the search systems properly handle this without adding a user
> dictionary or using phrase query. :)
> FYI, JDK DateTime API will support the new era (in the next updates.)
