Description eitan96 2014-08-10 09:42:40 UTC
In Hebrew there is special characters used for vowels called "nikud". When there is word with this characters on wiki the search find this word just if you enter the word with the "nikud", and almost all people search without this.

For exmpale: if you search the word "הגבר" in this book:
https://he.wikisource.org/wiki/%D7%90%D7%95%D7%93%D7%99%D7%A1%D7%99%D7%90%D7%94_%D7%A9%D7%9C_%D7%94%D7%95%D7%9E%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%A1_%28%D7%98%D7%A9%D7%A8%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%97%D7%95%D7%91%D7%A1%D7%A7%D7%99%29/%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%A8_%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%A9%D7%95%D7%9F
you will found nothing, beacose the word in this book is "הַגֶּבֶר". This is the same word, but most of peapole will search without the marks on the letters. Thanks!
