After the United States and Germany, the third-largest country of origin of
Material for MkDocs users is China. For a long time, the built-in search plugin
didn't allow for proper segmentation of Chinese characters, mainly due to
missing support in [lunr-languages] which is used for search tokenization and
stemming. The latest Insiders release adds long-awaited Chinese language support
for the built-in search plugin, something that has been requested by many users.

_This article explains how to set up Chinese language support for the built-in
search plugin in a few minutes._
{ style="display: inline" }
[lunr-languages]: https://github.com/MihaiValentin/lunr-languages
## Configuration
Chinese language support for Material for MkDocs is provided by [jieba], an
excellent Chinese text segmentation library. If [jieba] is installed, the
built-in search plugin automatically detects Chinese characters and runs them
through the segmenter. You can install [jieba] with:
```
pip install jieba
```
The next step is only required if you specified the [separator] configuration
in `mkdocs.yml`. Text is segmented with [zero-width whitespace] characters, so
it renders exactly the same in the search modal. Adjust `mkdocs.yml` so that
the [separator] includes the `\u200b` character:
``` yaml
plugins:
- search:
separator: '[\\s\\u200b\\-]'
```
That's all that is necessary.
## Usage
If you followed the instructions in the configuration guide, Chinese words will
now be tokenized using [jieba]. Try searching for
[:octicons-search-24: 支持][q=支持] to see how it integrates with the
built-in search plugin.

Note that this is an experimental feature, and I, @squidfunk, am not
proficient in Chinese (yet?). If you find a bug or think something can be
improved, please [open an issue].
