About:
cmigemo is a fast, dictionary-based Japanese incremental search tool that uses Romaji input to find matching Kanji and Kana characters. It works by utilizing pre-compiled dictionaries to perform real-time 'fuzzy' matching, making it ideal for filtering large lists of Japanese text. This package provides the core C library and command-line interface for system-wide integration.
Key Features:
  • High-speed Romaji-to-Japanese fuzzy matching
  • Lightweight C library for easy integration
  • Command-line interface for scripting and piping
  • Supports multiple dictionary formats
Use Cases:
  • Filtering file lists or command history in Japanese
  • Integrating Japanese search into custom CLI tools
  • Enhancing text editors with Romaji-based search functionality
Alternatives:
  • w3m – w3m is a text-based web browser that includes built-in migemo support for URL/title searching.
  • skk – SKK is a Japanese input method that focuses on input rather than search, though it handles Romaji conversion.
