Searching WebSked across multiple languages

Arc XP has been making updates to the WebSked’s search engine to make it easier to find content. If you have multiple websites with content in different languages, the results can vary depending on the word or phrase that you search for.

If the word or phrase is common in many languages, then WebSked’s search returns all of the content in any language that contains that term. However, if that same word or phrase is not used in a particular language, then WebSked’s search does return any results for that word or phrase in that language.

For example, searching WebSked for COVID across English, Spanish, and German sites returns content in all three languages because COVID is commonly used in those languages, with that spelling.

However, searching WebSked for COVID on a Korean site does not return any content because the Korean term for COVID is 코로나. If, however, a story in Korean includes the literal term COVID, then that story is returned.

The same is true if you search for a phrase, such as "The United States", with or without quotes.
