I try the plugin to search UTF-8 Japanese. But the result was unstable. One word
is ok, but another word return no result. I checked the code, then found preg_split
and “u” options not using. — — C:/temp/custom-fields-search.php-rev1549.svn000.tmp.

I have a lot of custom fields, not all needed to be searchable. With this plugin
I was able to select which custom fields could be included in the search. Plugin
is always kept up to date and I’ve never had any problems. Other search plugins 
slowed down my website while this one never has.
