In this paper, we address the problem of the exploitation of text phrases in a multilingual context. We propose a technique to benefit from multi-word units in adhoc document retrieval, whatever the language of the document collection. We present principles to optimize the performance improvement obtained through this approach. The work is validated through retrieval experiments conducted on Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English.
