and it would appear that nobody answered the email. I am currently implementing a library system that needs to search by whole word. I am using \m...\M regexes, and the DB is utf8, which includes text in Hebrew, Greek, Arabic and various European character sets. I need a solution to do whole word searches on the data, and this either means fixing the value of alnum for utf8 to include all character sets, or manually generating a list of all characters and reimplementing a word-start/end in regex myself. I would prefer to avoid the latter if at all possible! What is the current status regarding a full character list for alnum for utf8, and is there anything I can do to help get it working?
