Using gallery 3.0.3

Odd behaviour with the search and chinese/Japanese kanji characters.

It does not return any results when a full name is used, and also part name using one or more characters.

At first it seemed to return results if the first character of a name was used but for some search phrases it wasnt working either.

Examples
Hiragana 'alphabet'
Search: スノーシュー
translates to;snowshoe
returns results

All part word searches return results
Search: ス
returns all results
This is used in the popular tags mostly and only in 1 album title.

The traditional kanji characters don't work as well.

Search: 山急山
Returns nothing but there is an album with it in the name.

Search: 山急
returns nothing.Same for 2 characters.

Search: 山
This is the character for mountain and is in many tags/album titles and descriptions - returns nothing.

Search: 妙義山
In at least 3 album titles and descriptions but returns nothing.

Search: 妙義
returns 1 album

Search: 妙
returns 1 album

These are also popular tags but the search doesn't pick them up.

You can try it yourself copying and pasting tags or parts of album names.

Have you tried this?: http://gallery.menalto.com/node/104571

EDIT: I now see that you've already commented in that forum about not getting the patch installed. If that's a working solution, you should keep the conversation there. Not sure you'll get anything different here and there are users there already trying to help you.
