The unsegmented nature of Chinese previously caused some typeahead requests to lack precision and/or recall. Typeahead now uses a mixture of linguistic and individual character pattern matching to optimize the balance between precision and recall. Language processing (such as stemming) takes effect for identified words while remaining characters are wildcard-matched. This advantage is made possible through dynamic segmentation.

This enhancement can be enabled through two new parameters, Dx=typeahead+true (for dimension searches) and Ntx=typeahead+true (for record searches). These parameters enable typeahead functionality without the use of wildcards. This functionality works with both simplified and traditional Chinese.
