I'm looking for a database system (preferably with full text-oriented
retrieval capabilities including indexing and proximity searching) for
the Mac, using the Worldscript fonts. I am particularly interested in
full-text searching of Cyrillic materials.  Does anyone know of such a
beast?

On a more general level, how widespread is support for Worldscript? It seems
to me that the concept (putting language support at the OS level) would
greatly facilitate customizing to different areas. Yet my sense is that the
idea and support for it have developed very slowly.

Any pointers or suggestions very welcome.
