Algolia does not perform intra-word matching, which refers to matches within other words. For instance, searching for the word "book" would not find a match for a record called "rebooking."
Because of this, we may not function very well with languages that do not use spaces. For instance, a search for the highlighted Thai word below would find no matches:
Since there are no spaces, our engine does not consider the phrase to be its own word and does not tokenize it correctly, and therefore no matches are found.
For these types of languages to function appropriately, the words would need to be segmented with spaces.
