When I try to search Chinese in my forum, I can see the search result returned broken sentences, the punctuation is missing, and there are unexpected whitespaces between words, and some words are missing.

E.g. I tried to search `管理员`, the original sentence is

> 管理人员可见的分类。只有管理员和版主才能阅览主题

But what I saw in the search result looks like below.

As you can see, `可见的` is missing, full stop mark `。` is also missing, which breaks the sentence. Then `只有` and ` 和`, `才能` are also missing. And there are unexpected whitespace in between.

Can someone help me with this issue? Thanks
