can not find a page containing "海芳" when searching for "海芳"

Maybe you can run "zim -D" and check the debug output for error messages?

Thanks,

OK. But where can I find the debug output? Also, another page containing "海芳" could be found. Maybe it is due to the page name? The name of the one which could not be found is "④", while that of the other is "13".

Thanks!

On Linux the debug output will show in the terminal, on windows it
ends up in zim.log in the temp folder: %TMP%/zim.log

Btw. is "海芳" a single word with space " " on both sides ? (Word
boundary in western language.) Or are there more characters directly
next to it?

If characters are next to it, try to search "*海芳*" (So with a "*" to
match other characters next to it). If both pages are found that may
be the reason.

OK, "*海芳*" works. But why? It's a little bit inconvenient. Thanks a lot!

It's a little bit inconvenient. Thanks a lot!

Because I'm not Chinese speaking, so when I wrote the search function,
I assume words always end with whitespace.

I see. Then is it possible and easy for the function to handle this kind of situation? Thanks!

Do you have a proposal ?

Problem is that for western languages it works really well, so I don't
want to change it. Don't know the rules for Chinese and other
languages, so can not design a good rule that works for all.

Maybe one could allow "non-word" (i.e. strings not being surrounded by whiht spaces) to be searched while putting higher priorities to matched words. In this way, I think both could be satisfied.

That is a good suggestion, I will look into it.
