Search and Navigation

[New] Japanese reading form filter is now in FAS. This allows translation from kanji and harigana to katakana. There is also a parameter that transforms the words to romaji instead of katakana. The filter is based on the kuromoji analyser and the Mecab IPADIC dictionary that comes with Lucene. The token filter can be added after the Japanese Tokeniser in a Japanese Linguistic pipeline.

[Improved] Improved the performance when evaluating triggers in certain cases.
