Search function doesnot work with Japanese languages

[lovevn]

Hi,

I intend to buy another vbbulletin to o pen o forum in Japanese languages. However, I tested and knew that the search engine of vbulletine doesnt work with Japanese languages.
Is there any way to solve this problem ? Or Vbulletine just works with English languages ?

Tako + lovevn, I think you can apply the same hack which enables searches in Chinese text. It's just a small hack and its provided freely for licensed users (on vbulletin-chinese.com). I can retrieve it for you once you confirm license status by posting in the support forums requesting for it.

There's quite a difference between chinese and japanese...

The hack alters the table to preform binary search (two bytes character) which is the same technique to display Japanese and Chinese.

Alfarin:

I've posted in the priority support forum to request it. Now where do I go to get it? I'm confused. I followed lovevn's link, but I don't see the hack. Looks as though s/he and I are trying to get the same thing.

Thanks,
