Search for Japanese should detect both kana and kanji versions of words

[pikurasa]

Search is super-helpful!

Japanese would benefit from an additional enhancement.

Currently, if the user is in kana mode, kanji input is not detected. Likewise, when the user is in kanji mode, kana input is not detected. It cannot be assumed that a user in kana will only input (e.g. type or paste) kana and visa-versa.

Current behavior:

• Kana in Kanji mode: Undected
• Kana in Kana-Mode: Detected
• Kana in Kanji Mode: Undetected
• Kanji in Kanji Mode: Detected

Desired Behavior. Search finds results whether or not the input is kana or kanji. The display of the results should be the same as the chosen language setting (regardless of input).

Is this issue still open for work?

All issues are available. This issue is probably going to require a major kludge to extract both sets of translations. (Already, the kana implementation is a bit of a kludge.)

Might make sense to work on https://github.com/sugarlabs/musicblocks/issues/2066 first.
