They should go in the same page. If people do a query in English, they
have English results,
if they do it in Chinese, get Chinese results. So Chinese miniarticles
should be allowed. You can't
split in per language search wiki until the search supports "search in
langoage foo".
However, words with different meanings on different languages are
problematic.
Yesterday i tested the search engine with "cat", expecting results about
either /Felis silvestris
catus or the *nix utility. Most of answers were about catalan language,
probably due to a
bias for the word being in the url.
But as the same happens with Google maybe it's NOTABUG. :/
