Much likely search will not work for cyrillic data. This is an old issue and we have been not able to make it work correctly so far.

Just something interesting I noticed by chance about searching on chinese characters.

Maybe you can see if it works for you too.

Go to the following post:
http://www.jforum.net/posts/list/2028.page

Select an entire line of Chinese (ex. three quick clicks with your mouse)

Copy your selection.

Go to search and paste the selection and perform a search.

The result is: it finds the correct post.

I have found that the best mysql version for cyrillic data is 4.0.x (I'm using 4.0.17). 4.1+ will not work at all, and I cannot find a fix for it.

Hi Rafael,

So does that mean it is a database issue, and not a JForum configuration issue or so?

I'm not sure so far. Mysql 4.0.x and previous does not support "true" unicode, so the jdbc driver emulates that - which works very well.

However, starting from mysql version 4.1, native unicode support was added, and so then I never more was able to get JForum working correctly.

I have tried dozens of configurations, but nothing seems to work. I appreciate any kind of help

Just installed JForum:
- Fedora Core 4
- JDK 1.4.2
- Tomcat 5.0.28
- Postgresql 8.1.4

I configured UTF-8 for JForum and Postgresql.

The search can only work on English. Chinese search always return 0 search result.

I noticed there is an existing bug logged for adding Lucene integration. Maybe that is the answer? Do we know what's the time frame for fixing it?

PS. Love JForum. This is a very nice piece of work! Thanks!
