You can go into contact with developer team and suggest inclusion of
this patch into main branch. It will be good thing - supporting
Midgard-based servers at the search engine level. I don't think that
they'll refuse, because they are always open to new features. One thing
that should be done before, is block your changes by #ifdef HAVE_MIDGARD
statements. Then people will be able to compile UdmSearch with Midgard
support and omit it when they not needed. But, again, supporting
Midgard-based servers at the search engine core will be preferred
solution.

None of other search engines has i18n support out of the box with the
functionality needed to support languages with several encodings (like
Russian or Japanese) no matter one-bye or multi-byte.
