Question

I’m thinking about using Sphinx as a search engine for my site. But since I have a lot of Korean content, and other languages like Chinese and Thai may follow, I wonder how well Sphinx can handle this type of content.

Answer 1

I am using Sphinx to search CJK charcters (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), what you need to do is to add the following lines in your index block of your configuration file.

index test {
  ...
  charset_type = utf-8
  ngram_len = 1
  ngram_chars = U+3000..U+2FA1F
}
