Index/search with Unicode script fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. (optional) Index a module with a non-latin (i.e. Unicode) script. (e.g. 
Ukranian, Hebrew)
2. Copy some text from such a module and search for it.
3. Search for that text!

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Nothing happens.  Look at bpbible.exe.log or stdout to find the traceback 
info.

This is a known issue and will not be fixed until I rewrite most of the string 
handling to handle unicode properly. Until then, it is not supported.

Is it worth adding to the README file or other documentation that languages 
other
than English may not be supported?

Fixed in installmgr branch on SVN.
Unicode search needs lots of testing.
