Language insensitive search

[benoit.pointet]

I’d wish for a way to express a search query in a language (say english) and have matching docs from any language. So when I search for “apple”, it would match docs containing “Apfel”, “Pomme”, …

That’s beyond the capabilities of DT. You’d need a full dictionary resource for such a thing and word-for-word translation often produces very poor results.

And should searching for apple bring up New York, as it’s “the big apple”? Language insensitive search for single words makes no sense, imo.

A context-aware search using related words (in the database’s context) might be a possibility in the future instead:

E.g. the words shown in map could be used when searching for Hubble.
