there was a simular problem about one year ago with searching words in sword 
in Thai text's:

Good day,

We came up against a small problem with our Thai test module. When 
searching for a word whose characters are part of other words, there is 
no way to delimit the word. This occurs because Thai has no word breaks. 
Somehow, the rtf engine seems to break the Thai words reasonably 
accurately on the display of text. However, that same logic does not 
seem to be in the search module.

I have no idea, how this problem was solved. But probably the same method 
would work here. Does someone can remember?

Shalom,
