Thread:Help talk:CirrusSearch/"Better" support of searching in other languages

With srwhat = nearmatch,
 * This is a query for биология, it does find биология.
 * This is a query for биологии, it does not find биология.

Without specifying srwhat,
 * the first query also finds the correct article, but
 * the second query returns garbage such as Институт биологии внутренних вод имени И. Д. Папанина РАН (it misses the relevant item).

Please help, this is needed for a wikilinker script as you're deprecating Lucene Search. It worked better:
 * биологии = биология
 * биология = биология

P.S. A filed this as a bug and linked it here.

P.P.S. This javascript thingy should let you read the ugly unicode things the API outputs.
