[string-search] Matching of Chinese searches (#30)

xfq has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/string-search:

== Matching of Chinese searches ==
Many Chinese search boxes, including address book / contact list searches, "find in page" searches, and "app list" searches (search for apps available on the current OS), etc. support the following search formats:

- Full spelling matching: "beijing" matches 北京
- Syllable initial matching: "bj" matches 北京
- Fuzzy matching: "beij" matches 北京
- Mixed matching: "bei京" matches 北京

This may be beyond the scope of this document, but we might want to describe something like this *somewhere*, maybe in one of our author-oriented articles.
