Hi - on a synapse homeserver running on postgresql 9.4, and connecting via vector, I'm having trouble searching Japanese.
If I enter:
バッタと鈴虫
(grasshopper and cricket)
I get a search hit when I search バッタ but, not when I search 鈴虫.
It appears that the beginning of a post is ok, but, anywhere in the middle of the post is not searchable. I tried this on my own homeserver, and on the main matrix homeserver. Same result. Kent on the main forum also reproduced.
Is there a possibility to search using regex?
