Enter and search using Korean?

I was wondering if anyone knew if those of us who are English speakers can actually search for foods using Korean letters and spelling? I know that we can create and enter using Korean but I am not sure about searching. It never seems to work when I try to search using Korean.

    Ack, maybe it does work okay, just the vast majority of Korean foods are entered in some weird English way or spelling.

    We are currently working to enhance our food database search, including the use of Asian characters. This may cause some glitches, but should be resolved soon.

    Thanks!
