Any language that uses whitespace to separate words
Chinese

Japanese
Korean
Thai

We aim to provide global language support, and your feedback helps us move closer to that goal. If you notice inconsistencies in your search results or the way your documents are processed, please open an issue in the Meilisearch repository.

Improving our language support

While we have employees from all over the world at Meilisearch, we don't speak every language. We rely almost entirely on feedback from external contributors to understand how our engine is performing across different languages.

If you'd like to request optimized support for a language, please upvote the related discussion in our product repository or open a new one if it doesn't exist.

If you'd like to help by developing a tokenizer pipeline yourself: first of all, thank you! We recommend that you take a look at the tokenizer contribution guide before making a PR.
