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. > Add new Japanese Hiragana Filter and Factory > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-814 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-814 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: search > Affects Versions: 1.3 > Reporter: Todd Feak > Priority: Minor > Attachments: SOLR-814.patch > > > Japanese Hiragana and Katakana character sets can be easily translated > between.
