Hm, I wonder what the en_GB locale on your machine does when it sees
characters unused in English such as Greek characters. Is this Windows or some
form of Unix?

Do you have a particular LIKE pattern and a particular example for which it
fails? Or does it work reasonably when you test individual values but fail
when you perform large searches?
