This hack was originally written by 007pig of vbulletin-chinese.com for users to preform search for Chinese text as well as conduct full text search directly on the post table. Due to member request on vbulletin.com, I have translated this hack and obtained 007pig's permission to re-release the translated version for vbulletin customers to use.
Things to take note about this hack:
This hack does two things, 1) enable your forum script to handle Asian characters which uses two bytes (16 bit) as opposed to the Western European one byte (8 bit) characters; and 2) it gives the administrator an option to preform full text search directly on the post table and hence save disk space by omitting the search indexes. Please note that preforming full text search directly on the post table will have a preformance impact on forums with large amount of posts simply because it will need to process through all the posts.
Please note that I have only tested this with vB 3.0.3 but not above. However, in theory it should work for all versions higher. Please remember to back up your files before you apply this hack! Without further delay, I'll attach the hack here. I will also try to provide support for this hack as much as I can, however, I cannot guarentee that I can solve all your problems as I did not make this hack myself.
PLEASE BACK UP YOUR FILES AND DATABASE BEFORE APPLYING THIS HACK!
