Ask HN: What features of non-English languages impact the ability to search?
In English, for example, I've found it helpful that "vs" is (1) universally used for comparing things and (2) not used for anything else. Searching for something like "Rust vs" is a good way to find things similar to "Rust". Without "vs", I could still search for something like "similar to Rust" or "Rust alternatives" or "like Rust", but there would be a lot more variety with how questions and articles are phrased and more false positives when including terms such as "like" and "similar"
On the flip side, it's really unfortunate to have entities with generic names such as the email service "Hey" or the Mac clipboard application "Paste" since searching for those terms would produce lots of results not specific to those entities. I imagine this is pretty common in lots of languages, though it also seems possible that in some traditions it's unconventional to have something named with any arbitrary word.
For those of you who search in other languages, what have you found to be benefits and pitfalls of the language for the purposes of searching?
