What do you mean?
Put simply: Either you don't let someone search a TW database with
simplified characters or you convert either the search terms or the
searched documents internally for the duration of your search – or some
combination of these options. It is not at all obvious to me what the
fastest way in a big data context is. There's gotta be research about this.
