    [Forum] Chinese Search and google search

    Please help me out

    I can use my vbforum for the Chinese search, but the search result is not stable.
    sometimes, it can find the posts, sometimes it can not.

    1. is there a hack for the Chinese search? where?
    2. is there a setting I can change to improve the chinese search? where?
    3. can in incorporate google search to it? how? where?

    thanks!

    I believe sphinx has better support for this as a whole. You can try our or digitalpoints sphinx plugins, though his has a cost.

        Sphinx is an open source full text search server, designed with performance, relevance (search quality), and integration simplicity in mind. Sphinx lets you either batch index and search data stored in files, an SQL database, NoSQL storage -- or index and search data on the fly, working with Sphinx pretty much as with a database server.


        I'd recomend double checking, but ours is here: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...-vBulletin-4-0
        DigitalPoints is here: http://products.digitalpoint.com/vbu...inx-search.php

          I am bit confused.

          what is the difference between vbulletin and digitpoints, besides the fact that vbulletin's is still in beta?

          I can wait for the final..

            It is an unsupported product that we've released for the customers. DigitalPoint's is activlty being developed and has a wider set of features, but is not free.

                Just an FYI... the one I made *does* support Chinese (and various other languages) even though Sphinx does not handle them by default.

                All you need to do is set $language['cjk'] = true; in it's config file.

                PHP Code:
                ## Languages to index
                ##
                ## Latin and extended Latin-based languages are indexed by default (English, Spanish, French, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish, Swedish, Vietnamese, etc.)
                ##

                $language['arabic'] = false;
                $language['cjk'] = false// Chinese/Japanese/Korean
                $language['greek'] = false;
                $language['hebrew'] = false;
                $language['persian'] = false;
                $language['russian'] = false
