I have try to do something with Zcatalog to index and search utf-8 encoded Chinese. But it fail to locate the string.

Yes, I doubt if ZCatalog is fully urf-8 aware. ZTables, which bits of ZCatalog are based on, has been problematic for some of our overseas customers.

Would you consider to include support of unicode in zcatalog?

We'll probably go even farther than that and support Vocabulary objects. Vocab objects will let you define your own stopwords, stemming rules, etc. That way, the very english oriented text indexing machinery can be made language neutral by abstracting out all the language specific stuff into a Vocab object. This is, however, a bit on the back burner, it might take a while for me to get to it. Unless, of course, you'd like to volunteer? ;) -Michel
