Hi. If this (http://www.tachyonsoft.com/iso88596.htm) shows all the Arabic characters and they match up with the following:

A0-AF: ¡¢£¤¥¦§¨©ª«¬_®¯
B0-BF: °±²³´µ¶·¸¹º»¼½¾¿
C0-CF: ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏ
D0-DF: ÐÑÒÓÔÕÖ×ØÙÚÛÜÝÞß
E0-EF: *áâãäåæçèéêëì*îï
F0-FF: ðñòóôõö÷øùúûüýþÿ

Then the PhpDig variables are set correctly. If the PhpDig variables are in fact set correctly, then the same encoding used to index needs to be the same encoding used to search. PhpDig does not currently support multiple encodings.

Also, the database may or may not need to understand the encoding and/or you may need to ALTER TABLE keywords MODIFY keyword VARCHAR(64) BINARY; for certain encodings.
