| -After the United States and Germany, the third-largest country of origin of |
36 |
| -Material for MkDocs users is China. For a long time, the [built-in search plugin] |
37 |
| -didn't allow for proper segmentation of Chinese characters, mainly due to |
38 |
| -missing support in [`lunr-languages`][lunr-languages] which is used for search |
39 |
| -tokenization and stemming. The latest Insiders release adds long-awaited Chinese |
40 |
| -language support for the built-in search plugin, something that has been |
41 |
| -requested by many users. |

| -Today, together, MkDocs and Material for MkDocs are among the most popular |
70 |
| -options when it comes to choosing a static site generator and theme for your |
71 |
| -technical documentation project. Material for MkDocs ensures that your |
72 |
| -content is always perfectly presented to your audience, regardless of screen |
73 |
| -resolution or device capabilities. It has evolved to a framework for technical |
74 |
| -writing, offering many features, some of which are yet to be found in other |
75 |
| -static site generators. However, we're far from the end, as 2022 is going to |
76 |
| -bring some interesting new capabilities. |

| -Two weeks ago, Material for MkDocs Insiders shipped a brand new search plugin, |
102 |
| -yielding massive improvements in usability, but also in speed and size of the |
103 |
| -search index. Interestingly, as discussed in the previous blog article, we only |
104 |
| -scratched the surface of what's now possible. This release brings some useful |
105 |
| -features that enhance the writing experience, allowing for more fine-grained |
106 |
| -control of what pages, sections and blocks of a Markdown file should be indexed |
107 |
| -by the built-in search functionality. |

| -The search of Material for MkDocs is by far one of its best and most-loved |
134 |
| -assets: multilingual, offline-capable, and most importantly: _all client-side_. |
135 |
| -It provides a solution to empower the users of your documentation to find what |
136 |
| -they're searching for instantly without the headache of managing additional |
137 |
| -servers. However, even though several iterations have been made, there's still |
138 |
| -some room for improvement, which is why we rebuilt the search plugin and |
139 |
| -integration from the ground up. This article shines some light on the internals |
140 |
| -of the new search, why it's much more powerful than the previous version, and |
141 |
| -what's about to come. |
