You want to provide a little more information about your environemnt /
what you are trying to do?  Is everything in unicode?  Are you using
SJIS? JIS? EUC?  Is all the data uniformly stored in that format?  How
is the search text being entered?  

I have done searches against Japanese text with Perl, so your problem
lies elsewhere.
