How does Bengali name search work in a member directory?
March 17, 2026 · Jogajog team · 2 min read
Quick answer: Jogajog stores Bangla and English names as separate first-class fields and matches transliterations in both directions, so typing “Rahim” finds রহিম and typing রহিম finds Rahim — no exact spelling required.
How it works
Romanized queries are matched fuzzily, so Rahim, Rahym and Raheem all reach the same person.
Members never need a Bangla keyboard; the English interface searches Bengali data transparently.
Visibility rules apply inside search, so hidden fields can’t be discovered by querying their contents.
Frequently asked questions
Do members need to type Bangla?
No. Latin-script queries match Bengali-script names automatically.
Does search cover custom fields?
Yes — any custom field an admin marks visible is searchable.
