CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) characters should be added ~ in the front when seaching in DEVONthink. For example, searching keywords 你abc我他 should be converted to ~你abc~我他. It's added automatically in DEVONthink Pro Search by using regular expression /(\p{Unified_Ideograph}+)/ug to matching Chinese characters.

The regular expression /(\p{Unified_Ideograph}+)/ug can't match Japanese or Korean characters. You can research more perfect regular expressions which match CJK and tell me.
