Hi there, I'm trying to search a double-bytes word in my database. If the word I search is English(single-byte word), it perfectly works. But once I try to search a double-bytes word(such as Japanese), I don't get any results even though the word is in the table... I know if the word is shorter than 3 character-length, MySQL doesn't give me the result, but the word I'm searching is longer than 5characters(Japanese)... Anybody knows what's going on behind ?? My Environment: MySQL : Ver 11.6 Distrib 3.23.28-gamma, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) OS : RedHat Linux 6.2 Thanks.
