Sorry, I meant, by the word "should be ok now", that Korean is not affected by the problem 1 and would be OK now if the problem 2 were not exist. ( 1. handling of two-byte characters ) ( 2. extraction of words from sentences without whitespaces ) I checked by the following procedure: 1. display http://www.debian.org/index.ko.html by some browser 2. copy some korean word from the page 3. open a new browser window and display http://search.debian.org/ 4. paste the korean word into the search form 5. execute search The following is a result of searching a Korean word "Korean language". It gave one result. http://search.debian.org/?q=%ED%95%9C%EA%B5%AD%EC%96%B4&ps=10&o=0&m=all&g= The following is a result of searching a Korean word "news". Though the word appears at http://www.debian.org/index.ko.html , the result is zero. http://search.debian.org/?q=%EC%83%88%EC%86%8C%EC%8B%9D&ps=10&o=0&m=all&g= Thus, search for Korean words has the same problem (problem 1) as Japanese search has, besides Korean language uses whitespaces between words (i.e., problem 2 doesn't exist). --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/
