ZDNet Korea
looks at antbear, a desktop search system that addresses problems
in the searching of text written with Asian character sets.
"
Advanced word recognition technology gives more reliable search results Linux desktop search, thus far, had some limitations due to its lacking features compared to Windows environment that has various features. Although 'Beagle' has been available for supporting Korean and other Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese), its 'bigram' search method in many situations fails to recognize true meanings of Asian characters for the search. For example, it breaks down and indexes the search word(s) into two separate characters, which can generate unrelated results. The reliability of the search result gets even worse when its search is based on larger number of files."
