why flarum search is bad and how to improve with a new extension?

Hari Can we implement same to the discussion slugs too? Generating discussion slugs in different language other than English (Telugu, Hindi)

This is possible with a relatively simple custom extension that just adds a slug driver that doesn't transliterate.

I think it must be a core feature? it is very basic and WordPress does this by default 😢

can we call it a tiny extension?

Changed tags as requested by discussion originator. 😉

Can this make an improvement in Chinese language search? If it does, this PR will be historic
https://flarum.it/?q=%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%E8%AF%AD%E8%A8%80
In the above test, it was found that three characters must be searched for a search, and a search will not work properly if two or less characters are entered

JerryYang The relevant PR doesn't address that, and I don't think that the problem evoked with Chinese search can be fixed by any tweaks to Flarum's codebase, it seems to be a lack in MySQL's fulltext search, perhaps this might help: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/22321-improving-search-for-chinese-characters/15

SychO Since I am using a new version of MySQL, SQL does not work, I improve my Chinese by installing Sonic. Now it works normally

I can confirm, that my forum running in the Bangla language is now working fine. Thanks a lot for solving this headache. Thanks a lot @SychO for fixing this issue.

Hi Sirs
I know that tag:tagname can be used in search commands, but it seems that only slug can be used, others like Chinese tag names are not recognized. It is not easy for users to find the slug of the tag, can I ask you if you have any experience in correcting it?

JerryYang

Subarist Thank you for your advice. I have made use of the sonic project to make improvements and can conduct a Chinese search

Tks
I am new to sonic.
So it can use "tag:tagsname" in the search bar? Just like tag:"站務", to search for posts under a specific tag.

It does not perform an operation, but does a range search under a tag that you can search under if you want
