I don't think Zope supports double-byte chinese text. I do know that other have asked how to do searches on german and french, and the answer for both was that the current 2.0.1 release of Zope truncates characters in the textindex source to 7-bits before searching or indexing. The Zope people were apologetic and said that the version of Zope in CVS (version control system) -does- support german/french -- that they had removed the code that chops to 7-bits. However, I do _not_ know if this change would allow chinese text or if they have more work to do to handle double byte text.

Ask at <support@zope.org>.
