I'm having a problem with a chinese language search. If I search for a whole phase I get the results I want. Searching for part of the phrase returns no results.

when I search for 天安舰 on http://chinese.carnegieendowment.org/ I expect to see http://chinese.carnegieendowment.org/publications/?fa=40958 in the results. Instead I get nothing. I can search and find the article by searching for 天安舰事件 or 天安 returns this page in the results. I know that the page is getting indexed.

You can find some tips for searching Asian language sites here,

But search results from Asia languages will never be as accurate as searches on Latin based languages.
