We’ve made an update to improve how languages are handled. Not every language works like English.
In English, words are usually separated by spaces, so it’s easy for a search engine to tell where one word ends and another begins. But in languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, words are often written together or follow very different rules. This can make searching harder if a search engine isn’t careful.
Before this update, searches in CJK languages could sometimes feel inconsistent. Results might still appear, but matching and highlighting didn’t always behave the way people expected. The search engine was sometimes trying to break text apart in places where it shouldn’t.
Now, Fynd treats CJK text more naturally. Instead of forcing it into English-style rules, the search system keeps the text intact and lets it be searched the way it’s written. This helps results feel more accurate and makes it easier to understand why a page matched your search.
We also improved how search terms are highlighted in result descriptions. Matches are now clearer and more consistent, even when the text structure is different from English. This makes it easier to scan results and quickly see what’s relevant.
The goal of this update is simple, searching should work the way people actually write and read, no matter what language they use. This change brings Fynd one step closer to being a search engine that works well for everyone, not just English speakers.
If you search in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, things should now feel smoother and more predictable. And as always, if something doesn’t look right, your feedback helps guide the next improvement.
