You've got it.  The way search works is that all the words are segmented
(tokenized) and then normalized and then indexed for quick lookup.  The trick
is that each language is subtly different and I only speak English so I can
only validate that choices make sense there.  And its hard to propose changes
that cross many languages.

Anyway, I'll see if I can make a tool to easily look at how words are segmented
in your language.  And I'll see if I can make it easy to experiment a bit with
stuff.
