Thread:Talk:Search/Zero Width Joiner and Zero Width Non Joiner/reply

So we've been holding off on these kinds of issues until we're able to get the unicode plugin for Elasticsearch deployed on the cluster. The plan is for CirrusSearch to use it (if it is installed on Elasticsearch) to take a first crack at the problem and then go from there. We're willing and able to go beyond that but we'd like to start there. The holdup is just that Elasticsearch plugins are deployed differently then most other things at WMF so we have to work up a special mechanism for them. We're moving along on that project so we should be able to start really improving things "soon".

Still, I'd love some good test cases to make sure that we're going in the right direction. I'd be thrilled if you filed a bug with some examples of things that don't work but should.
