search-ni.cgi's FACT
Dear All users and admins,

Any body can tell us the current usage os search-ni.cgi and search.cgi?

search-ni.cgi is not support "AND"?

Now the cases are:
1. search.cgi
- Quick Results,
- Not support with non-English text searching

2. search-ni.cgi
- Support with non-English text searching
- (Slower?)
- Disabled "AND"

Any ideas?

As I said before, the way to force AND is to use the + sign in front of words.

I'm not sure how this is affected with the foreign characters, but some compromises had to be made to allow this sort of thing.

Perhaps the next release will have more support for language files, which will allow more flexibility in changing the program's behaviour with foreign character sets.

There really is no good way to do this. Languages by their very nature are variable, and no set of rules works for all of them all the time. If they did, we'd all speak dozens of languages, and pocket translators would be common place and very accurate.
