Search in a category ??

try altering the alpha.php file in the template so that this is compatible with Russian.

$letters = array('a','а','б','в','г','д','е','ж','з','и','к','л','м','н','о','п','р','с','т','у','ф','х','ч','ш','э','ю','я');
foreach ($letters as $letter) :
if (in_array($letter, $this->alpha)) :
echo "<a class=\"fc_alpha_index\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"document.getElementById('alpha_index').value='".$letter."';document.getElementById('adminForm').submit();\">".mb_strtoupper($letter,'utf-8')."";
else :
echo "<span class=\"fc_alpha_index\">".mb_strtoupper($letter,'utf-8')."</span>";
endif;
endforeach;

I have changed all functions "str...." on "mb_str..."
After that Russian letters became active, but search does not work :

hmmmmm... let me think
we are half way there
maybe we need to have a look at the search plugin?
can you take a look at that. I will take a look myself
there must be something in there that is keeping it from searching properly. That's my guess anyways.
Post back if you find something

:idea: also try connecting to the flexicontent svn if you are brave.
!But on a testing server first. This may have already been worked out on a newer release.
You can always revert with the svn but try it on a testing server first and save the trouble if you want. It;s a bad idea to go into the search plugin and manipulate stuff but maybe we can find something in there and let the developers know about it.

This is an important issue since I think everyone would want flexicontent to be as universal as possible

I have tried to test the given problem on flexicontent svn, however the same result - an alpha the index does not work :x
