+# How to enable text search for Chinese, Japanese and Korean
+
+Pleroma's full text search feature is powered by PostgreSQL's native [text search](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/textsearch.html), it works well out of box for most of languages, but needs extra configurations for some asian languages like Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK).
+
+
+## Setup and test the new search config
+
+In most cases, you would need an extension installed to support parsing CJK text. Here are a few extension you may choose from, or you are more than welcome to share additional ones you found working for you with the rest of Pleroma community.
+
+ * [a generic n-gram parser](https://github.com/huangjimmy/pg_cjk_parser) supports Simplifed/Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
+ * [a Korean parser](https://github.com/i0seph/textsearch_ko) based on mecab
+ * [a Japanese parser](https://www.amris.co.jp/tsja/index.html) based on mecab
+ * [zhparser](https://github.com/amutu/zhparser/) is a PostgreSQL extension base on the Simple Chinese Word Segmentation(SCWS)
+ * [another Chinese parser](https://github.com/jaiminpan/pg_jieba) based on Jieba Chinese Word Segmentation
+
+Once you have the new search config , make sure you test it with the `pleroma` user in PostgreSQL (change `YOUR.CONFIG` to your real configuration name)
+```
+SELECT ts_debug('YOUR.CONFIG', '安装和配置Nginx, ElixirとErlangをインストールします');
+```
+Check output of the query, and see if it matches your expectation.
+
+
+## Update text search config and index in database
+
+=== "OTP"
+
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl database set_text_search_config YOUR.CONFIG
+ ```
+
+=== "From Source"
+
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.database set_text_search_config YOUR.CONFIG
+ ```
+
+Note: index update may take a while.
+
+## Restart database connection
+Since some changes above will only apply with a new database connection, you will have to restart either Pleroma or PostgreSQL process, or use `pg_terminate_backend` SQL command without restarting either.
+
+Now the search results of statuses should be much more friendly for your language of choice, the results for searching users and tags were not changed, as the default parsing/matching should work for most cases.
