Optional: Enabling multilingual Search dictionaries

During installation, only the English language dictionary is enabled by default. When your organization spans multiple geographies and multiple languages, you need to enable the relevant language dictionaries for your deployment to ensure that Search returns optimum results for your users.

For non-English deployments, enabling multilingual support for Search is a mandatory post-installation step that needs to be performed before you start your IBM® Connections Search server for the first time. Without multiple dictionary support, for languages other than English, Search only returns results where there is an exact match between the search term and content term. Enabling multiple dictionaries ensures better quality search results when your user base is multilingual.

For information about how to enable multilingual support, see Configuring dictionaries for Search.
