I am having some problems searching using the MATCH function for japanese words...
Here is the situation.. As you might know japanese words are not separate with spaces.. Here are 2 words (a composite one and a simple one)
1. ストライプジャケット (strive jacket)
2. ジャケット (jacket)
When I search for the first word I can find it. When I search for the second word (using MATCH function ojn a full text field) it will not find records containing the first word. It does makes sense to me since the words are not separated by spaces however how can I make it work?
I would like to mention that in some cases this will work even if the words are not separate by spaces so I guess I might be missing something
Is there an alternate solution for this? Most of the sites from Japan seems to have a solution for this and this applies for other sites as well
Any suggestion is really appreciate
