Summary

The sqlite_fts resource index splits query text with [A-Za-z0-9_]+, but its FTS5 table uses the unicode61 tokenizer, which keeps letters of every script inside one token. A query for Zürich turns into "Z" OR "rich"* and misses the chunk the index stored as zurich. A query written only in a non-Latin script, such as 日本語, builds no MATCH expression, so the lexical arm returns nothing.

This change tokenizes with \w+, which matches Unicode letters, digits and _. query_terms, fts_match_expression and term_coverage share the same regex, so all three now agree with the index tokenizer. ASCII queries produce the same expressions as before, and the quoting that keeps user text out of FTS5 syntax stays as it is.

Fixes #1113

Changes

  • sqlite_fts.py: _TOKEN_RE is now \w+, with a comment that explains why.
  • test_resource_index_drain.py: one test for the MATCH expression and term coverage with non-ASCII words, and one that indexes a chunk containing Zürich and finds it through search().

Testing

  • uv run pytest potpie/context-engine/tests/unit/test_resource_index_drain.py: the 2 new tests fail without the fix ('"Z" OR "rich"* OR "office"*', and [] hits), and all 16 pass with it.
  • uv run pytest potpie/context-engine/tests -m "not premerge_journey": 3181 passed, 574 skipped.
  • ruff check and ruff format --check (v0.14.3, repo pre-commit args) are clean on both files.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved full-text search for Unicode text, including non-ASCII words and accented characters.
    • Search results now match more consistently across indexed content and queries, including text with decomposed accents and differences in letter case.
    • Short prefix searches for CJK text now return more reliable matches, while other scripts use a longer prefix threshold.
    • Unicode matching respects distinctions in characters such as Greek tonos, German sharp S, and Cherokee case.

The resource index now tokenizes Unicode words, folds selected diacritics for query matching and term coverage, and uses script-aware minimum lengths for prefix matching. Tests cover accented and decomposed text, Greek, CJK, and SQLite FTS retrieval.

Changes: Unicode-aware resource search

Unicode tokenization and search matching
potpie/context-engine/src/potpie_context_engine/adapters/outbound/resources/index/sqlite_fts.py, potpie/context-engine/tests/unit/resources/test_resource_index_drain.py
The tokenizer recognizes Unicode word characters and combining marks. Query terms and indexed tokens are folded for coverage, and prefix matching uses script-aware minimum lengths. Tests check non-ASCII words, accented and decomposed forms, Greek text, short CJK terms, and SQLite FTS results.

Explanation

[#1113] sqlite_fts.py uses _TOKEN_RE with Unicode word characters and the combining marks that unicode61 drops. query_terms(), fts_match_expression(), and term_coverage() use this tokenization and shared folding behavior. Tests cover Zürich, résumé, 日本語, decomposed accents, and direct sqlite_fts.search() results. This satisfies the linked issue coding requirement.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed head includes behavior beyond [#1113]. sqlite_fts.py adds _STOPWORDS, script-specific prefix thresholds, and prefix or morphology matching in _covers(). Tests also add requirements for function-word filtering, coverage of fail/failover, credit/credits, and deploy/deployment, plus related retrieval behavior. These changes alter general ASCII search semantics and are not required to fix Unicode tokenization.

Resolution

Remove the unrelated stopword filtering, general prefix or morphology matching, and their tests from this pull request, or move them to a separate pull request. Keep the Unicode tokenization and focused tests required by [#1113].

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 72.73% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 11 functions across 2 files.

unicode61 removes diacritics, so a search for fiance retrieves a chunk
saying fiancé. term_coverage compared raw lowercase tokens, scored that
hit 0.0 and dropped its relevance to 0.0. Fold query and passage tokens

Preserve non-Latin accents in coverage.

SQLite removes diacritics from Latin characters, but this code also removes them from Greek characters. (sqlite.org) For a query μηλο signal and chunk μήλο signal, FTS retrieves the chunk through signal, but coverage reports both terms as present. A rank-one hit then receives relevance 1.0 instead of 0.5.

Match unicode61 folding for coverage and add a non-Latin regression test.

Preserve decomposed accents when tokenizing.

A query containing Zu\u0308rich becomes "Zu" OR "rich"*. Neither term matches the indexed token zurich, so the search misses the chunk. The same split can give a matching chunk zero coverage. SQLite keeps this combining mark within the token. (github.com)

Normalize query and chunk text before tokenization, or use tokenization that matches unicode61. Add retrieval and coverage tests for decomposed text.

Thanks for this fix. While reading through it I found two cases that still miss. I didn't see either one in the existing review threads.

I checked these against d0ea66fb by reading the code, then running a small script that uses the same \w+ split and 4-character prefix rule against an FTS5 table with the same unicode61 tokenchars '_' config (SQLite 3.49.2). I did not run the PR branch end to end.

1. Decomposed (NFD) text still splits mid-word

\w doesn't match combining marks, so Zürich written as u + U+0308 splits in two. macOS input and some PDF extraction can produce this form. FTS5 still stores it as zurich, so the query and the index disagree, which is the same mismatch as #1113.

Query form MATCH expression Hits against "…courts of Zürich."
NFC "Zürich"* 1
NFD "Zu" OR "rich"* 0
NFD, normalized to NFC first "Zürich"* 1

The same split affects passage text in term_coverage. _fold runs after _TOKEN_RE.findall, so an NFD chunk tokenizes to zu and rich. A zurich query would then retrieve that chunk but score coverage 0.0, and so relevance 0.0, which is the same outcome as the fiance regression. I worked this one out from the code and did not run it.

Suggested fix: apply unicodedata.normalize("NFC", ...) before tokenizing, in both query_terms and term_coverage.

2. Short CJK queries still miss

unicode61 keeps an unspaced CJK run as one token, so 日本語の文書です is stored as a single term. "日本語" has fewer than _PREFIX_MIN_CHARS characters, so it stays an exact match:

Expression Hits against 日本語の文書です
"日本語" 0
"日本語"* 1
"文書" 0
"文書"* 0

So the query now builds a MATCH expression, but 日本語 still only finds a chunk where it stands alone, and test_non_ascii_words_stay_whole_tokens pins that exact form. The 4-character floor assumes Latin-length words, while a 2 or 3 character CJK term is often a complete word, so it may be worth exempting those terms.

A prefix can't reach a term in the middle of a run (文書 above). Fixing that needs a different tokenizer such as trigram plus an index rebuild, so I think it belongs in a follow-up issue rather than this PR.

Happy to help with the NFC change if that's useful.

Thanks @rajatrout470, both were real. Fixed in 111efba:

  1. Decomposed text. I didn't normalize to NFC, because the index doesn't either. unicode61 drops a diacritic that is stored as a separate mark (so a decomposed ά is indexed as α), but it keeps a precomposed Greek ά. Normalizing would make coverage disagree with the index the other way. Instead, the token regex now includes the marks unicode61 drops, so Zürich stays one word, and _fold drops them. I got that set of marks by indexing every BMP letter and mark with SQLite 3.34 and 3.51. Both versions agree.
  2. Short CJK terms. CJK terms now get the prefix operator from 2 characters, so 日本語 finds 日本語の文書です. Coverage uses the same floor. I agree that a term in the middle of a run needs a different tokenizer and belongs in a follow-up.

The same commit also covers the CodeRabbit point about Greek and multi-accent letters. _fold now only folds an ASCII letter plus one diacritic, which is what remove_diacritics does, so άλφα and ǖ keep their accents. The new tests index real chunks for the NFD and CJK cases. They fail without the fix, and the 214 resource tests pass with it.

Preserve Devanagari marks before building the FTS expression.

The current pattern splits किताब into three OR-ed terms. This returns passages containing only one fragment. Add the Devanagari mark ranges to the token pattern so the query becomes one phrase instead of three independent terms.

A quoted phrase is not a strict whole-word check with unicode61: it also matches क त ब and क-त-ब. If those forms must be rejected, the index needs a tokenizer or post-filter that preserves the original word boundaries.

[warning] 184-184: Regex pattern passed to re is built from a non-literal (variable, call, concatenation, or f-string) value. If that value is attacker-controlled it can introduce a malicious pattern with catastrophic backtracking (ReDoS). Use a hardcoded literal pattern, or validate/escape untrusted input with re.escape() and bound the regex complexity before compiling.

around lines 183 - 190:
Update _TOKEN_RE to include the Devanagari mark ranges alongside the existing
word characters and diacritics, so a Devanagari word such as किताब remains a
single token when building the FTS expression.
