Cyrillic (8-bit ?!!) database- case INsensitive ??

[Plamen Petkov <plamendp@techno-link.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from Plamen Petkov <plamendp@techno-link.com>     ******


Thanks to Mike (Heins) who suggest to set

mv_substring_match="yes"


now I can search Cyrillic database... so far so good, but...

The search is always case SENSITIVE even I do NOT set mv_case !

I know this is a locale settings issue so:


1. The user running mvend server has environment variable
LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R  (and THIS locale is proven to be OK for the entire
machine)


2. In catalog.cfg I do NOT specify ANY locale settings (nor do I specify
any locale database)

3. At this moment  the [L] [/L] tags doesnt work, but this is obvious,
and I do not worry abt it !

4. At this moment I  CAN  search cyrillic if and ONLY if 
mv_substring_match  is set to  "yes"

5. However, I can NOT search case In-sensitive (cyrillic only,  latin is
ok)


6. Now I set [Mike]  as a last line in catalog.cfg 

Locale ru_RU default

NO SUCCESS again

7. As a last resort I unsetenv  LANG (and any other locale related
variables, MM_CHARSET for example) from the environment - no success
again



What I am doing wrong - my environment is OK (i think), locales are
available, set up and running fine, except in minivend ??


Maybe I must note that my database are in windows-1251 charset, but as
far as I have many perl scripts doing SUCCESSFUL case Insensitive regex
search (you know, =~ /gfhghgfh/i ), I am wondering where I am wrong ??  


I'll be honest - I am not a newbie guy, but I'm not a guru, so this list
is my chance to solve my problem.


I don't want to mess with   mvend/lib/Vend/*.pm 's   :-)


Thanks in advance..

plamen.
