English words can be searched properly but the forum doesn’t recognize Korean and Chinese search terms at all

Did you install using the correct database locale / language?

I had someone contact me about this recently. I wasn’t sure which locale to use for Chinese, as I don’t know how the Postgres locales map to the various Chinese dialects. Is there some way to know which to use?

[image] k11: should I turn on ‘search tokenize chinese japanese korean’ should I turn on ‘search tokenize chinese japanese korean’ ??? please help me.

Probably, give it a shot and see what happens.

turned on it but still can’t search any Korean and Chinese words..

I don’t know for certain, but I have a feeling the tokenize happens between raw → cooked. If you rebake a post with the Korean or Chinese words, does that post then show up in Search?

I posted a new topic and searched korean words but still nothing shown up in search result :confused:

Not sure, maybe @fantasticfears would know?

You don’t have to change Postgres locale but your default_locale should be zh_CN and zh_TW. @k11 you could try search tokenize chinese japanese korean but the dictionaries are limited for Korean.

Korean words cannot be searched
