Improve the ability to search chat history for Asian regional languages, such as Chinese and Japanese. Telegram's chat history search function is based on words, and is suitable for languages such as English and Russian that are separated by spaces. But for languages that do not use spaces for word segmentation, you need to match the entire sentence to get the search results, which makes the search function of some languages almost unusable. I hope Telegram can improve this feature so that it can search languages that do not use spaces to separate words.
lol For CJK languages simple substring search will be enough, without tokenization shit. better to speak after you know the topic

actually this can be easily fixed by either using simple substring match or word segmentation for CJK languages.
They can simply add substring match results after their current result. For space-separated languages it doesn't harm since substring match appear at last.
Ignoring this problem for so long simply means telegram doesn't care.
Absolutely, as a software engineer, there are many easy ways to handle this issue without affecting the performance on the server side, but they have chosen to ignore it while users have been raising this issue for many years.

It has been 8 years, and still no progress on this issue. Hope telegram dev can share any thoughts or progress on this matter. Much thanks.
