Hello everyone,

I currently have a site that is using FullTextSearch using the Lucene engine for indexing. So far, it works great in all of my US/UK sites. However, it doesn't seem to be working very well four my Japan site. When I try to search for Japanese text, I am met with zero results, even if the text is on the site. If I remove all of the Japanese characters but one, it will return search results for that one particular character.

I've spent some time Googling this issue to find that it seems like it is a fault with Lucene and that it just can't handle Japanese characters and all other Lucene engines are still in Java.

Has anyone been able to find a workaround for this issue or know of a way to make it work out of the box?

Thanks!
