Bug#905126: www.debian.org: Website search box unhelpful for common names (e.g. Buster) in certain character sets
Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal
A number of search languages end up with no results for contextually
common search terms, for example "debian" or "buster".
To reproduce:
- use the search box for the term "buster" in English. There are a
number of results including release information, news items and
errata.
- set the language to Vietnamese, Chinese or similar and search again
- there are no results.
I assume that this is an issue with translations into non-Latin
character sets without hint words nearby the translated word.
