Actually, the client asked me to write a
PHP-driven search engine to locate words in
HTML resources. I'm considering MySQL as
an "Indexing" tool to store the plain-text data
and speed-up this search.
The solution you explained requires that I write
my own Indexer with PHP. I'm looking for a faster
and easier way.

With the aid of "mbstring" extension,
PHP supports multi-byte characters.
In case you're interested, take a look at:
1) Toppa, Michael, "Solving the Unicode Puzzle," php|arch Magazine, May 2005.
Availabe online at http://www.phparch.com/issuedata/articles/article_179.pdf
2) http://www.php.net/ref.mbstring
BTW, if you code in Perl, I have something for you:
http://www.dataparksearch.org/
If you know a PHP-driven search engine like this, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
