kiwix android3.8.1 cannt to search
1 project | /r/Kiwix | 9 Dec 2023

Thanks for checking that. So it seems like we have an issue with UTF8 search for mutli-byte character sets. I've opened this issue on GitHub to investigate further: Search appears to be broken with Chinese characters (possibly all UTF-8 multibyte characters).

Looking further it looks like 3.6.0 used to be on f-droid https://www.reddit.com/r/Kiwix/comments/wxaf88/kiwixandroid_360_available_on_fdroid_major_fix/ but was pulled all the way back to 2.4 due to containing non FOSS. https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues/30910 which looks like isn't slated to be fixed until 3.7.0

Never had such a problem with my Pixel4 but I would totally suggest you open a ticket on github describing the issue.
