I just stumbled across this GitHub project:
It tokenizes every character in the FTS index allowing you to do substring searches. Perfect for languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean where words aren't necessarily bounded by spaces.
Where would be the best place to stick this in Couchbase Lite so I can use it? Or perhaps it could be added to the master repo so anyone could use it (optionally)? I realize it would increase the size of the FTS index. But it definitely solves a big problem for those languages.
Thanks,
Brendan
