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.

It's generated by /srv/search.debian.org/bin/gen-stemmer.sh - I've
fixed that to generate $set{stemmer,none} before anything else, run
it by hand, and now I can search for "buster" in "chinese-china" and
"vietnamese", and stemming is still enabled for "english".

This should fix all cases, but please reopen if not.

Cheers,
    Olly
