#4469: Nominatim won't search some Korean text?

Here is Toyoko Inn in Seoul. There are many of these hotels in Korea and
Japan.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/871717853
Nominatim search for "Toyoko Inn, Seoul" is great! "Toyoko Inn, Busan" or
"Toyoko Inn, Tokyo" works as expected too.
"東横イン", which is Japanese for "Toyoko Inn", seems to work. I get some
useful results.
"토요코인", which is Korean for "Toyoko Inn", does not work. I get no
results, but I know this string is in the name=* field.
Please tell me if this is a bug, or if there is a problem with the data.
If it's a bug, please mark it as a 'to do'. If it's a problem with the
data, please explain how to do it properly and I will re-do all Toyoko Inn
hotels in Korea (there are about 8 of them).
I have had success searching for other Korean text. For example, "중앙로" or
"Jungang-ro", which means "Central Street", will give some results.
Thank you.
