Attachment: screenshot

1. log into pancake with proper credentials
2. search for nihyaku (二百) using japanese romanji(日本語ローマ字)

Expected: anything with 200 and the double byte chracters will bold in the search
Actual: only the 200 bolds

Note:
1. using safari, bing will bold the characters correctly
2. using firefox on desktop I get the same result as the actual

I think this works for me. I don't completely understand how romanji works, but I get these results:

1) Type nihyaku on the keyboard. A romanji text appears in the search field. It ends with a symbol that looks like <
2) A search is done and I see that text highlighted in the results

3) Type on the leftmost button in that row of buttons that are now above the keyboard. It contains "二百".
4) Hit enter.
5) A new search isdone for 二百. It is correctly highlighted in the results.

So the magic here is to press enter. I don't know if that is the right thing to do with the romanji keyboard stuff or if this is an issue where the text field changes but we don't get an event on that.

On the iPad iApp for dev, hitting the search button doesn't do any search with the current build 3/9/2012 ４：３６

on the current pancake on desktop, it's bolding everything in the title of the web page and barely showing a bolding on the description.  It should just bold the 二百 for both?  In either cases, the iApp is broken.

I tested this again and it works for me. I see the correct search term highlghted in the results on the iPad app.
