To author:  
Currently, our team is trying to do the inference in Thai language. But in the retrieving part, Elasticsearch seems to have some limitations about Thai language. For example, we can only search Thai word. Can not use Wh+How questions, if we ask , it would show nothing. We have also tried Korean, Russian and Chinese, ES can retrieve them. Do you have any idea ? Thank you. ![ESproblem](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/5/658d8cd3907cfa3231e220802660af3b8b4dc098.png) ![ESproblem2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/4/f45836d3bd7c29392df20f32255999c6d923b96d.png)
