Yahoo Search does not index Tifinagh (ⵜⵉⴼⵉⵏⴰⵖ) script (Unicode U+2D30–U+2D7F)
Hi,
Queries entered in Tifinagh script (ⵜⵉⴼⵉⵏⴰⵖ) return no relevant results on Yahoo Search, while Google search engine index and display Tifinagh content correctly.
Tifinagh is the official script of Tamazight in Morocco (since 2003) and widely used across North Africa. it is also fully standardized in Unicode (U+2D30–U+2D7F). Yahoo Search should parse and index it like Arabic or Hebrew.
The problem is that Yahoo search normalizes or ignores Tifinagh queries, defaulting to Latin-script results. thing that limits accessibility for Amazigh communities and reduces visibility of Unicode-compliant content.
Please update Yahoo Search’s query handling and indexing to support Tifinagh script properly, ensuring Unicode text in this block is searchable and displayed in results.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Search for ⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖ (Amazigh) in yahoo search.
- Compare results with Google.
- yahoo search returns almost exclusively Latin-script results.
Expected Behavior:
- yahoo search should correctly index and display results in Tifinagh script, just as it does for Arabic, Chinese, or Cyrillic queries.
