...I am surprised: what is the purpose of replacing string-match with something else? (The emacs package chinese-pyim that you are using seems to be documented in chinese only, which does not help me.) I can imagine that CJK might sometimes require different solutions than, say, western languages. Yet I am not sure whether it is the right approach to then introduce custom variables like bbdb-string-match-function to replace string-match in (only) certain instances by something else. I mean: string-match is used by emacs in a zillion of places. If for some reason this built-in function does not do what you need, you might want to discuss at emacs-devel whether this can be improved in a way that will benefit all emacs code. Or loading the package chinese-pyim could effectively replace string-match. (Yet this only works at the lisp level. There might also be instances when string-match is called at the C level.)
