Description
Right now when filtering entries we just match against the fields we care about. Eg lexeme form, citation form, gloss.
However if the vernacular WS is Thai, and the search script is only latin characters, then we could just skip searching fields that contain Thai based on their writing system. The reverse is also true, if the search text is in the Thai script, then we can skip searching any English text fields.

Research direction
Start at the entry-filtering path and inspect how lexeme form, citation form, and gloss are searched alongside vernacular writing-system metadata. Compare Latin-only and Thai-only queries against Thai and English text fields; done means irrelevant writing-system fields are skipped without changing matching results.
