Hello everybody,
In our MediaWiki we have titles that use diacritics for transliterations. Since CirrusSearch does accent/diacritic folding out of the box, we are able to search for pages without using diacritics. This is important especially for mobile users. However, if a word includes either ʿ or ʾ then it is not possible to find a page by searching for that word without including either ʿ,ʾ, or a \? (wildcard). I was wondering if it was possible to add ʿ and ʾ to the filter to have words be searchable without including them. For example:
Search for ʿilm by typing ilm, or 'ilm (normal quote).
This is our setup:
MediaWiki | 1.35.3 |
PHP | 7.4.22 (apache2handler) |
MariaDB | 10.4.20-MariaDB |
ICU | 66.1 |
Semantic MediaWiki | 3.2.3 |
Elasticsearch | 6.5.4 |
CirrusSearch | 6.5.4 (ad4210f) |
Elastica | 6.1.1 |
Regards,
Pooya
