Overview
I tried Wagtail, so here are my notes on issues I encountered.
I basically followed the tutorial below:
https://docs.wagtail.org/en/v5.0.1/getting_started/tutorial.html
Search Feature
When I added a page with the Japanese title “My First Article,” the following search did not return any results.
http://localhost:8000/admin/pages/search/?q=はじめて
On the other hand, the following search did return results. It appeared that partial matching for Japanese is not supported by default.
http://localhost:8000/admin/pages/search/?q=はじめての記事
Wagtail API
Information about the API is available here:
https://docs.wagtail.org/en/v5.0.1/advanced_topics/api/index.html
By also adding rest_framework following the site above, I was able to get results as shown below.
However, the hostname in the results was showing as localhost even though the app was running on localhost:8000.
This issue was resolved by modifying it through the admin panel, following this article:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52540254/edit-approved-email-points-to-localhost
Specifically, I changed the port number on the /admin/sites/ page.
?search Parameter
As with the search feature above, it appeared that exact matching was required for Japanese.
http://localhost:8000/api/v2/pages/?search=はじめての記事
Elasticsearch
I tried integrating with Elasticsearch.
https://docs.wagtail.org/en/v5.0.1/topics/search/backends.html
This time I tried AWS OpenSearch, but the following error occurred.
elasticsearch.exceptions.UnsupportedProductError: The client noticed that the server is not Elasticsearch and we do not support this unknown product
A similar issue was raised in the following link, but it appeared to be unsupported at the time.

Summary
This may contain some inaccuracies, but I hope it serves as a useful reference when using Wagtail.
