It did make it to the list, but can you give more details whether or which of the
following you use:
--enable-locale ?
--enable-multibyte ?
LANG=?
LC_COLLATE=?

While I do see, that this is bogous, I do not really understand why you
use like in this case when your metatext function does not return any
wildcards. A simple = should lead to the same result. Can you check that
with the index in place ?
