This page was part of our rubric for developing CirrusSearch so I'm
hopefully you won't find much there but I'd love for you to try!

I've never seen this before.  Bookmarked.

Testing in multiple languages is going to be interesting because test2wiki
is customized for English so it only does English stemming, for example.
Also, it is configured to do accent squashing but other languages won't be
unless someone asks for it.  Unfortunately for me every language is a
unique snowflake.
