Search in Russian text

[AndyX]

The search engine of phpBB2 dosn't work with russian text in topics. How can i fix this problem?

[chAos]

a guy made a post about the same problem but with hebrew.

a mystery for me.

I have solved a problem of russian search.

In function_search.php there is a function split_words which does not pass Russian letters because of regular expression:
preg_match_all('/(\*?[a-z0-9]+\*?)|\b([a-z0-9]+)\b/', $entry, $split_entries);

I have replaced this line on:
preg_match_all('/(\*?[а-яa-z0-9]+\*?)|\b([а-яa-z0-9]+)\b/', $entry, $split_entries);

I.e in 2 places I have added the first and last letter of the Russian alphabet in expression

I Think that with other languages it too should work

[RomanZu]

In the previous message forum instead of letters has substituted unicode code.

I.t. instead of &#1072 and &#1103 necessary to insert letters.
(I hope this time all will be OK)

I have this fix but Russian search still not work.

function split_words(&$entry, $mode = 'post')
{
$rex = ( $mode == 'post' ) ? "/\b(\w[\w']*\w+|\w+?)\b/" : '/(\*?[а-яa-z0-9]+\*?)|\b([а-яa-z0-9]+)\b/';
preg_match_all($rex, $entry, $split_entries);

return $split_entries[1];
}

Sorry! Still not work!
