Topic: Foreign language search in unicode

It seems that I cannot search for unicode terms in other character sets. I always receive no results, while the terms are certainly there.

For instance, in your Russian section, when I search for any terms I see in that area, such as ?????, I also receive no results.

Does searching in unicode work?

Thanks.

I should also say I'm running MySQL 4.0.27, but that doesn't explain why I can't search for cyrillic keywords in punbb.org forums.

We use UTF-8 charset for Vietnamese. Searching with vietnamese utf-8 word is ok for us.

Thanks  vnpenguin.

So it looks like I'll need to upgrade MySQL to 4.1 or better in order for this to work.

I'm still puzzled as to why I can't search for, say, Russian keywords that appear in this forum's Russian section.
