Any support for languages other than English?

Does it do normalization as part of the typo search (in case of missed/incorrent accent marks, etc)?

Does it do stemming at all? For English or other languages? (ie, I search for "run" and you show me documents for "running" or the other way around).

Any support for Chinese text (which typically doesn't have whitespace between words)?

We support English and other European languages (supports fuzzy search normalizing accented chars).

While it does not support stemming, with fuzzy prefix matching, it will largely work and practically more useful.

No typo or fuzzy correction for Chinese text yet.
