Important Search error with cyrillic characters.

A search with cyrillic characters still does not work in 1.0.10 stable b1344

Did you already check character encoding in your database: fb_* fields. What does those say?

And does the search work in Kunena.com?

Yes, I did. There are utf8_general_ci encoding.
There are two lines from jos_fb_messages and jos_fb_messages_text:

name____userid___email________subject_______________________time
error_____70______ [email protected]___ Re:Опять проверка ddd_________1242947976

mesid______message
17_________проверка кунена поиск

Yes it works in Kunena.com

I don't know which encoding kunena uses, but i advice you to change encoding in both tables to something that suits better to your language. It looks like MySQL is not using all characters when it tests strings.

I use Russian, Ukrainian and English languages on a site. They work with coding UTF-8. All symbols of these languages are normally displayed at a forum and on a site. Tomorrow I will try to instal a forum on clean Joomla with a new database.
What options in phpMyAdmin are required Kunena, for work with UTF-8?

I have created a new database with utf8_unicode_ci.
Also has created new site Joomla and instaled Kunena 1.0.10.
Russian and the Ukrainian search do not work.
I search for an existing word "Новая" which is in messages.

When I search an existing English word "begin" which is in messages I receive an error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_substr() in X:\home\localhost\www\site\components\com_kunena\class.kunena.php on line 1282

I search not existing an English word "was not present in messages" which was not present in messages.

Search is different for English and Russian.
If I instal addition for PHP php_mdstring.dll English search will work, and Russian and Ukrainian is not.
