A few minutes ago I helped a friend of mine to troubleshoot Unicode search in his web page. He was using a TEXT type field with utf8 encoding and search wasn't working properly. Also encoding of web page was UTF-8.
After a little research connection encoding turned out to be latin1. So a simple mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8"); before actual database queries solved his problem.
