Hi,

I am new on Drupal and am not quite sure how search function works. I activated the search module, but it says 0% has been indexed. It seems like I need to make the server to start indexing, but I don't know how. Please help

setup a cron job to run on cron.php, or goto http://www.yourwebsite.com/cron.php

Title: How does search module work? » How do wildcards and non-ascii characters work in search module?

Yes, I remember it was quite frustrating for for me first to see search not finding anything at all before I learned to run cron.
However, there is another issue.

First, wildcards do not seem to work for me (4.6.3). When I search my site content for cyrillic, I find half a dozen items containing this word. When I search for cyril*, nothing is found.

Second, non-ascii search seems to be only case-sensitive -- i.e. I find many items when I search for Украина, and no items when I search for украина, and generally when I do not exactly reproduce the case of a word I'm searching for.

Is this a bug or a feature? Or am I doing something wrong?

Case-insensitivity for non-ASCII characters does not work on 4.6.3. In 4.7/HEAD it works, but only if you have PHP mbstring enabled.

PS: Please don't hijack other people's issues.
