The way udmsearch works is it has a big array of characters. Those
characters make up a word, anything not in that array makes up
whitespace. Easy stuff for single byte character sets.
I totally don't understand dual byte character sets at all, but I'm
guessing you could do a similar thing. Have an array of dual bytes which
make up characters. I really don't know what to do here.

Sounds hard to implement it at all.
Is there any solution that searches well for both single and dual byte
character sets?
