Unfortunately it still works very poorly for languages with compound words (German, Swedish, Finnish) where you would usually want to surface search results if someone uses the second or third part of the compound word, otherwise the user has to enumerate the (often too many) variants. Meilisearch doesn’t support suffix search and their tokenizer can’t handle these languages.

For instance searching for ‘___missilestrike’ in Kyiv would ideally surface all incidents, regardless of launch mode (surface-to-surface, air-to-surface…), range, propulsion, warhead, or guidance system. In these languages a number of these would form the prefix of that compound word.

Japanese support looks good. But it looks like I can’t deploy this inside an iOS app :(
