[Troy A. Griffitts]

Steve,
	Try specifically selecting a font that handles unicode chinese for the 
module over which you would like to search (in preferences, last tab,

	Then when you select this modules, the search edit box is SUPPOSED to use 
this font.  Please let me know your findings.

	-Troy.
