can you enlighten us a bit more why you think it doesnt support chinese? what happens? we have another chinese user a while back who asked for a change to get it working and we added it... so would like to know what the issue might be...

well basically it never comes back with any search result. we've tried searching different key word (that for sure does exist in the discussions) and the search result is always 0.  whether searching for topic title or content.  

only english key words work.

when you said you added it, do you mean the function of supporting Chinese searches or only the support to show Chinese content in the forum???

thanks so much!!!

I notice that when I try to search chines, the resule page show up 404 error.

Just as follow :

Error 404

Sorry, what you are looking for doesn't seem to be here.

You can try:
Going home or doing a Search.
Is that the correct result page? Thank you!

If this is the only time you get a 404 within the forum then it looks probable that there may be a conflict with the query variables being passed by the search tool and another WP plugin you have active.

Can you take a look at your other WP plugins and try and see if any of them construct urls that have any of the same query variables in the url?

Hi,  Yellow Swordfish.

    Thanks for your suggestion.  

This is not the only time, I got 404 with the search function every time.

I also use WP-Member and WP-Tree in my blog.

I try to uninstall these 2 , but the search function still doesn't work.

I see bbpress and mingle on your site, but no simple press... do you have direct link to it?

your server may be running mod_security or other that is incorrectly blocking the search url...
