can't search for a single Chinese character

Reported by vkmark | April 29th, 2013 @ 07:00 AM

Glad to use Piggydb, it's cute!
While as I'm a Chinese, I tried to use my own language in Piggydb.
The inputting & displaying of Chinese is good, but it's strange in searching:
I can search for any 2 or more continuous Chinese characters, and get the correct results.
But if I search for one single Chinese character, it always returns no results!

I like this software, please help to resolve this problem.
Thanks!

    Thank you for your report.

    This is one of the limitations of the current full text search. It supports Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages in addition to English, but you can't search by one character.

    Honestly, I don't know much about Chinese language. Do you think that this limitation has a big impact for Chinese uses?

    thank your response.
    I can't say this is a blocking issue, I can still search happily.
    While in Chinese some simple words are just of 1 character, like "water", "good", "paper", "pig", and most of people's last names.

    Maybe you can just hold this issue, and see if in a future time this limitation can be resolved.

    • State changed from “new” to “hold”

    Maybe you can just hold this issue, and see if in a future time this limitation can be resolved.

    Thanks. Maybe I will replace the database engine in future versions. Until then I will consider this issue. Probably adding a config option to customize the search would be better.
