Comment 21 for bug 745243

@Mikkel: thanks, that's reassuring.

There's been a relevant development too - Xapian has a student working on adding support for a Chinese segmentation algorithm as part of Google's Summer of Code this year. Assuming that project goes well and we can get it merged in, this ticket should be addressed for Chinese.

That still leaves Japanese and Korean, which aren't explicitly mentioned in this ticket so far that I saw, but suffer from the same issues.
