Thread:Talk:Search/Works for Japanese/reply

Yay! Thanks! The old search used spaces for word count (I believe) but the Cirrus delegates to the text analyzer which has some knowledge about Japanese.

Questions:
 * 1) There is an Elasticsearch plugin that is supposed to make Japanese analysis better.  Would you be willing to try it out if I expose it in jawiki in beta and tell me if it is better/worse/the same?
 * 2) I'd like to start enabling cirrus as the default on more wikipedias.  We're almost everywhere but wikipedias.  Anyway, would you be willing to talk about it on jawiki's village pump?  I'd love to do it with community support rather then force it on folks.
