Description:
The search system used in most WikiMedia projects makes errors in search result page. There is no apparent flaw in matching algorithm, but <span class="searchmatch"> tags are placed incorrectly when the search term contain multibyte characters and appears in the title of a wikipage or its section. Probably, matching algorithm provides substring lengths and offsets in characters (code points), which are incorrectly interpreted as byte offsets by HTML generating engine.
