Dears,
is variation search option only available for English language?
Thanks,
Hello,
No. It is supported in the following languages: Arabic, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish.
Please note that this feature requires that the catalog language is set to corresponding languages. See screenshot below.
But if we put it for arabic, we will lose the english. how we can have it for both?
also I am trying with Arabic and I did not succeed. How can I access the dictionary to match ?

Cross-language searching in a repository is not supported at this point. If some of your documents are in English language, and the others are in Arabic langauge, then you can put them into two repositories. One repository language is set to English, and the other is set to Arabic.
2. I am trying with Arabic and I did not succeed. How can I access the dictionary to match ?
I tried it on a repository of build 9.2.1 and it works. Laserfiche 10 should be same. Here is what I did:
a. Set catalog language to Arabic.
b. Import and index the attached file ar.txt.
c. After indexing finished, search the word in ar.txt, each word can return the other one. See attached search.result.png
I'm not familar with Arabic, and I don't know if one word is the variation of another word in my example. It is an example in our test. Also, Only general variation is supported. e.g. Irregular stemming is not supported in Arabic.
What version of Laserfiche search engine are you using? could you please give an example of your word and query? Does it work if using my example? Please note:
a. Variation search is applied to indexed search only, and it may behavior differently for database search.
b. After setting catalog language, re-index repository is required.

in my case it did not work (Pls cehck attached)
Hello,
I don't see any attachment. Could you please attach it?
here you go
Please try it in either Advanced Search (aka Search Syntax, that's the search type used in the previous answer) or Basic Search (Common Search in 10). You can click Customize Search to switch to them. And both words should return. If the two search types don't work for you, please attach a screenshot again.
As for Text search type, there seems to be a bug that Client converts the query to a phrase search: "الإتاحة". In Search Syntax (clear include advanced search criteria in query), you can see the double quotes, which is the difference from the query in the previous answer. It is a single word phrase. And exact match is required for a single word phrase, which means stemming is explicitly turned off for this query. I have reported this bug. In the meantime please use Basic Search instead.
