I have problem with full text search just on UTF8/Unicode Persian/Arabic Language (nothing found from querys).
- Tables are set with utf8/utf8_persian_ci on encoding.
- Using mysql_query("SET NAMES 'UTF8'");for Unicode Querys.
- English strings work fine.
Below is My search codes:
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password");
mysql_select_db("search");
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'UTF8'"); 
$q = $_GET['q'];
?>
<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<input type="text" name="q" value="<?php echo $q; ?>">
<input type="submit" value="Search!">
</form>
<hr>
<?php
if (isset($q)) 
{
    $res = mysql_query("SELECT *, MATCH(name, description) AGAINST ('$q') AS score from search_test WHERE MATCH (name, description) AGAINST('$q') order by score desc");
    $ant = mysql_num_rows($res);
    if ($ant > 0) 
    { // query provided results – display results
        echo ("<br/><h2>Search results for \"$q\":</h2>");
        while ($result = mysql_fetch_array($res)) 
        {
            echo ("<h3>{$result['name']} ({$result['score']})</h3>{$result['description']}<br/><br/>");
        }
    }
    else 
    { // query provided 0 results – display 0 hit message
        echo ("<br/><h2>Nothing Found \"$q\" query</h2>");
    }
}
?>
where is the problem or how can I search with full-text on Unicode language ?
