I want to ask about the searching with some Japanese keyword. For example 催眠 , with the old forum, I can use this keyword to find thread with title or content contains "hypnosis" (saimin) in Japanese but the new forum returns no result :(
 
any news for the search for japanese characters? Do we have to live with this bug?
 
I have also a question about the search function:

I opened a group (background: [THREAD=1277817]The "whatever" best performer / body part - and no pictures... :([/THREAD]). And it looks like you can't search for picture descriptions. At least I didn't get the search menu until I opened at least one "Discussion". It would have been really nice if it would be possible also to search for (or within) picture descriptions.

I thought that I maybe can solve that by opening a discussion for each picture. Now I get the search menu. But if I search for anything in the discussions I get no hits at all. I don't know if the discussions are not available for the search immediately, but need some time until an index task runs.

I've been waiting since yesterday and tried the search within the group again. It definitely doesn't work.

What did I try: I went to my group, open the "Search" menu of the group on the upper right, types "Aimi" and started the search.
Result:
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
But there is a discussion having the title "Aimi Yoshikawa". It also contains the "Aimi Yoshikawa" in the first post.

I don't understand why it doesn't find the discussion / the post. From what I expected as an user I would regard this as a bug.
 
Something interesting: If I go to the Advanced Search, go to the tab "Search Multiple Content Types", select "Group Messages" of the "Search Types" option and enter "Aimi" as keyword, vBulletin finds the discussion / post / message / whatever.

I'm really wondering why the search within the group doesn't find it.
 
I read the manual for vBulletin v4.2.1, v4.2.2 as well as v5.0.5 but didn't find anything about a setting which controls the search within the social groups.
