As far as check, python's re and regex modules are not hostile to 8-bit. Their manuals say so(or am I misinterpreted English?) And regex.search works fine with Korean(=bit & 2byte) character string. When I saw Zope/lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/Catalog.py, it impoted regex. Not re. Hence I guess the obstacle lay in Zope/lib/python/SearchIndex/*.c files. But this is just guess & I am an C-illiterate. I wish somebody in DG with python-C-source literacy do find out what is going in ZCatalog. best wishes. Lee Kwan Soo. Brian Hooper wrote:

Hi Kwan Soo,

Not yet, I actually have been busy working on a site and haven't been able to do anything with ZCatalog yet. Does the indexing system seem to be non 8-bit / double-byte friendly?
