Searching in non-english without Case Sensitive
This example is optimised for Russian users, but you can, probably, replace russian country code by your own local equivalent.

Replace

#!/usr/bin/perl (in db.cgi)

by

#!/usr/bin/perl
use locale;
use POSIX qw (locale_h);
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'ru_RU.KOI8-R');

or : http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=81619;search_string=case%20sensitive%20search%20russian;guest=796747 Good Luck !

Please check the FAQ under the section "Syntax" for a thread called "Substituting Special Characters".

I think the solution provided there by fgoldin may be just what you are looking for.

Let me know if it solved your problem.
