Hello there! I can't seem to reproduce this -- searching with Chinese characters works just fine for me.

Could you describe in a bit more detail what, where and how you're doing this? Are you talking about search in admin, site (front-end) or..? And just to make sure it's not something that's changed (though I can't think of such a thing right now) could you please provide the version of PW installed.

[haha]

I'm talking about site front-end, (I just not have tried admin search)

I just searched for: 游览本站 on your site and it returned one result.

Can you post the search term you are testing?

[haha]

So perhaps you need to look at the code of your search.php template and see if the selector is including the fields where these words occur on your site.

$matches = $pages->find("title|body|sidebar~=$q, limit=50");

The default only searches the title, body and sidebar fields. Add any other relevant fields to that | separated list.

Does that help?

 And all stuff of a website content is included with 'title body sidebar', how can i miss it? i'm not change the code of search.php

Are those search examples you gave complete, distinct "words", or are they part of a longer string of characters?

If the latter, then try changing the selector in the search.php file to:

$matches = $pages->find("title|body|sidebar%=$q, limit=50");

Note that I changed "~=" to "%="

Does that help?

it helps.   after i change this it works then.  does that give more Pressure to server?

It will be somewhat slower, but unless you have a very large number of pages, I wouldn't worry too much about it. However, you might find that *= also works for you, and this doesn't have the speed issue because it makes use of the sql fulltext indexes. Experiment and see what works.
