    Hi!
    I use ivory Search for both the English and “traditional Chinese” website.
    I find out if the keyword is “traditional Chinese”, the search result is none.

    I check the description of the plugin. Your plugin supports the “Simplified Chinese” for mainland China.
    So, I hope you will finally support the “traditional Chinese” that is used in Hongkong and Taiwan areas.

    Hope to receive your prompt reply.

    Just now, I search some topics on the internet, and it seems that the Ivory plugin does support the Traditional Chinese. So, I check again the plugin setting.
    Now, I understand how to solve this issue.

    Changing the “Fuzzy Matching” to “partial word” instead of “whole word”.
    PS: Editing search form/Options/Fuzzy Matching

    The reason is that there is no space between each Chinese word in most of the sentences.
    For example the English term: Good Power Tool, Traditional Chinese is “不錯的電動工具”
    Good = 不錯的
    Power Tool = 電動工具

    For English, the Fuzzy matching is set to”whole”, and if you search for “power Tool”, then you will get the result for “good Power Tool”. There are spaces before and after “power Tool”.

    For Traditional Chinese, the Fuzzy matching is set to”whole”, and if you search for “電動工具”, then you will NOT get the result for “不錯的電動工具”. There is NO any space before “電動工具”.
    So, for Traditional Chinese, the Fuzzy matching has to be set to”partial”, and if you search for “電動工具”, then you will get the result for “不錯的電動工具”
