# Configure multi-language search
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Zulip supports [full-text search](/help/search-for-messages), which can be
 | 
						|
combined arbitrarily with Zulip's full suite of narrowing operators. By default,
 | 
						|
Zulip search only supports English text, using [PostgreSQL's built-in full-text
 | 
						|
search feature](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/textsearch.html), with a
 | 
						|
custom set of English stop words to improve the quality of the search results.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Self-hosted Zulip organizations can instead set up an experimental
 | 
						|
[PGroonga](https://pgroonga.github.io/) integration that provides full-text
 | 
						|
search for all languages simultaneously, including Japanese and Chinese. See
 | 
						|
[here](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/subsystems/full-text-search.html#multi-language-full-text-search)
 | 
						|
for setup instructions.
