Bug #: 40612
Summary: Japanese keywords to search for files
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: lucene-search-2
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
There seems to be a malfunction in using Japanese words to look for the files
whose descriptions are partly or entirely written in Japanese language.
If the searching keyword contains the same letters in the same order as those
of the targeted Japanese phrase (without either spaces or any words in other
languages between the Japanese letters), the results will be satisfactory
because every Japanese context essentially never has any space letter in
itself.
However, when the keyword just matches to some parts of the whole phrase, or
when it contains not the suffix but only the body of a Japanese file name (e.g.
not "あいうえお.jpg" but only "あいうえお"), it will never be successful for the wanted
files to appear in the results.
I would like you to make it possible for the searching engine to recognize some
fragmentary letters which are the parts of the entire Japanese phrase, and to
identify Japanese file names without its suffixes, so that it will be a great
help to all the users who have to discover files in Japanese.
Thank you.
