LinuxDC++ does not modify the search string before sending to the hub
(which should then send it unmodified to all users). However, when the
other client receives a NMDC $Search request, they (assuming they are a
DC++ based client) will convert it to lowercase to compare with the
user's share. The code to do the conversion looks like it should convert
to lowercase properly, but I don't know how thoroughly it's been tested
on *nix. However, I'm sure most people are using Windows DC++ so that
shouldn't be an issue. The DC++ core uses its own homegrown conversion
functions so it's probably not as good as say glib's implementation.

It also depends on whether you have your hub encoding set properly and
that each user in the hub is using that same encoding otherwise the
search parameters will not get converted to utf8 properly.

Can you provide us with a sample of cyrillic text in utf-8 in its
uppercase and lowercase form?

It's really frustrating that search with cyrillic is case sensitive while english search is case insensitive.
