Search function does not work with Chinese characters and other asian language charaters.


I have tested in photo plugin. It seems that does not work in blog.




Thanks!

as to the username this is not possible in the meantime, because when you enter the user profile the username is used in the URL


as to the photo tags, we just tested in our demo and couldn't reproduce the issue with the chinese tags see screenshot


what is your software version, what is the version of your photo pluign? 

please share your url, make sure your website is open for registration, we'll check the issue on your side.

Thanks and sorry, I will post a issue per topic next time.


I recheck it and I find the search function only work for at least 3 charaters. That is the problem I met. In Chinese, many words only have 2 charaters.


About the username issue, I understand and agree with you.

WOO, we reproduced the issue


if the description has only 2 symbols the search function does not search 

however if you put # in front of the 2 symbol tag and search like this #新聞 then the search works, 

we have reported the issue to our devs, it will be fixed asap

Thank!


I also find that I can add 2# for one Chinese character. Such as "##桥".   


Hope you can fix this.



LOL
