The problem of the failure of the Chinese language search function

[macligithub]

When using the content file wikiquote_zh_all_maxi_2025-03.zim, there is no search function. When Chinese characters are entered in the search box, only "no results" is displayed.

@macligithub This is a very known and old issue whichnis not in Kiwix but in the ZIM file itself. Finally @benoit74 has fixed the issue and we believe it woukd work fine. We currently making a new Wikiquote at https://farm.openzim.org/pipeline/8627dfa9-5c80-4fb0-a06c-cf05dab86660 and we should check that it fixes your issue.

@macligithub Does it work better with https://mirror.download.kiwix.org/zim/.hidden/dev/wikiquote_zh_all_maxi_2025-04.zim

It works really well! Thanks a lot and I'm looking forward to the updates of other Chinese Wikipedia content files.

@macligithub Great! Count a few additinals weeks to release the scraper MWoffliner and redo all the ZIM files... and then all of this will be history. Thank you for your patience.
