Please, check that you have latest version (2.1.5).

Make sure that web site paths in configuration records end with slash. For example, http://example.com/ is correct while http://example.com is not.

Check that database URL in the extension configuration has slash after the database name. For example, this is correct:
mysql://user:pass@host/dbname/?dbmode=multi
This will not work:
mysql://user:pass@host/dbname?dbmode=multi

Make sure you have nothing in "Limit search results to:".

No problem with russian if you configured everything correctly.

To troubleshoot the problem, clear the index first. To clear the index go to your web site root directory in shell and execute:

php typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh mnogosearch -x -Cw

Next run indexer again with verbose option:

php typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh mnogosearch -v 3

Now you should see what URLs are being indexed. Indexing process should end with statistics about words and kilobytes of data. Check that they are not zero.

It should work if everything is ok.
