Currently the help system has analyzers for Brazilian, Chinese, Czech,
German, Greek, French, Dutch, Russian and English. What this means is
that the search understands something about how words are constructed in
different languages and how to recognize endings such as 's' for plural,
"ed" for past participle etc.
For every language other the search is less sophisticated, and search
will require an exact match to be in the text, and will only recognize a
limited number of separator characters.
I have no idea how well or badly this works in Israeli, since you posted
this I'm guessing not so well. You may want to check out to see if
Lucene has an Israeli analyzer, if so it would not be difficult to hook
it into the current mechanism, it is done using extension points.
