Can 'Low search' support Chinese for search result?

blamejen 9 Jun 2015 23:51 question, complete

I am building a Chinese site using ExpressionEngine and need to add search function.

I would like to use 'Low Search' and wonder if can be used with Chinese.

So search item in Chinese and result to show in Chinese.

    Yes, however, by default, Low Search uses spaces as word delimiters. Chinese doesn't use those, so you just have to make sure to set the keywords:loose to "both" and keywords:mode to "all" so it searches for substrings rather than words.
