Devanagari support in search

  • How can I add Devanagari support along with my primary site language? I can see that Hindi or Sanskrit are not supported.

    You don’t need to add anything. Relevanssi already supports all UTF-8 text. Hindi text in Devanagari can be indexed and searched.

    In general, Relevanssi can work with any alphabet. The only problem comes from writing systems where words are not separated with spaces (Chinese, Japanese, apparently some forms of Sanskrit).

    Thank you. Yes, I noticed this problem with Sanskrit. The stemmer must account for sandhi in algo, and seoarate word forms correctly. And it seems not an easy task. And stemmer support is not avail in free version.

    You don’t need Premium; the Chinese language segmentation uses the relevanssi_remove_punctuation hook, available in the free version. I don’t understand Sanskrit enough to assess how complicated a task this is to fix.
