Thread:Talk:Search/Works for Japanese/reply (4)

NEverett, I'd like to try both. Do you know what exactly is the difference between the kuromoji plugin and the one you currently use? Is the current one inherited from lsearchd? This will also allow the community to know how the difference will be (and maybe how they can help debug).

The version on the beta.wmflabs.org looks not bad, but it is hard to say whether it is "better" unless we test these analyzers against the same document set. In general, I believe the difference of those Japanese analysis engines will be very subtle when looking at the search result quality, as long as they use the same or a similar morphological dictionary.
