Hi.

I’m trying to search in history using Russian characters but without success.  
Is it supported?

I sent some messages in Russian… and then I tried to search for them with “search in history” but without success. No messages were found. English search is working ok.

Can’t reproduce the error. Can you let me know which database you’re using–MySQL or Postgres?
