Hi, 

I am a Chinese user and would like to suggest that the Search Function of FamilySearch (Desktop/Browser version)can support Chinese names (Both Traditional and Simplified). I have tried to search for names in Chinese language but in vain. It did not show my intended results. This limitation in searching for Chinese records will severely affect the popularity of FamilySearch among Chinese users. They will have to rely on other means (e.g. paper formats) to seek their ancestors. I hope the FamilySearch development teams can address this important issue in the next updates. 

By the way, the android version works decently. The search function works great. Well done!

Many thanks for your kind attention and assistance!

Jeromy
