Research direction

Start by reading the CJKAnalyzer implementation and its analyzer tests, then reproduce the reported queries where a multibyte character is followed by an ASCII character. Done means the listed mixed-character searches match consistently with the surrounding full-term searches, with a regression test covering the examples.
