One other question:
I've set up full text search indexing via Lucene, and it works great.
But how is this index encoded? Specifically, if I use the above method
to search for non-ascii strings, am I still benefiting from the speedups
of the search index?
I know that some people who are indexing non-ascii, non-UTF-8 messages
are running them through some sort of decoder to force them into UTF-8,
so that Lucene can index them properly. Is this still necessary if I'm
using the method above?
Thanks!
Eric
