A note on language support:
- If you’re searching in a language other than English, content in that language will show up.
- Content in English will always be searched.
- In addition, we make certain fallback assumptions, e.g., Brazilian Portuguese also searches European Portuguese.
In future, it may be desirable to make those search options user-configurable, as well.
The search feature is based on ElasticSearch, an open source search backend used by many websites, including Wikipedia.
As always, please don’t hesitate to report bugs, or find us on #lib.reviews if you want to chat.
