Can't search in Chinese. about raneto

[codepiano]

@ryanlelek
Sorry for late, if you want add search support for Chinese, use 'codepiano/lunr.js' replace official lunr.js dependency in module 'rateno-core', not 'rateno' itself, like this:

    "lunr": "codepiano/lunr.js",

It seems fine.

Same here. Seems like lunr doesn't support utf-8.

[bborysenko]

Same for Russian :(

It seems i have found the way how to add support for languages other than English.

For that i have installed the lunr-languages package:

[~/Raneto-0.6.0]$ npm install lunr-languages

And add a few lines to node_modules/raneto-core/raneto.js:

[~/Raneto-0.6.0]$ diff node_modules/raneto-core/raneto.js node_modules/raneto-core/raneto.js.orig
10,11d9
<   require('../lunr-languages/lunr.stemmer.support.js')(lunr);
<   require('../lunr-languages/lunr.ru.js')(lunr);
199d196
<           this.use(lunr.ru);

Nice job man!
But still, no Chinese support in lunr-languages :(

[bborysenko]

Yes really, I have missed that point. Then perhaps you might try to replace default lunr package with that one - https://github.com/codepiano/lunr.js?

@bborysenko, дай бог тебе здоровья =)

Chinese search support was mentioned in another issue that was closed, so I'll summarize it here.

@vyp said:

For Chinese searching, you will probably have to modify raneto to add support for lunr-languages: olivernn/lunr.js#91 (comment). But as you can see in that link, lunr-languages does not yet support Chinese.

Another potential option would be to try and replace the lunr that Raneto uses with https://github.com/codepiano/lunr.js, which seems like a Chinese version of lunr.js (found with the comment just below the previously linked comment). I haven't used this though, so I'm not sure if this only support Chinese, or supports both English and Chinese.

@codepiano replied:

My fork of lunr supports both English and Chinese.I use it to replace the original lunr repo in gitbook dependencies, and it works well.

I'll test whether it works well in Raneto when I have time. Raneto is a nice tool.

Looping you all in via mention so we can restart this and get a solution.

Gitbook use lunr.js to build search index from original markdown files, store the index in a file,and load this file in web page.
If Raneto also uses lunr.js this way,maybe my fork version will also work.
