Thinking more about this, and rereading this page:
<http://www.ascc.net/xml/en/utf-8/faq/zhl10n-faq-xsl2.html>, I think
I'll follow the advice from the author:

I could tell the users that if it want its chinese text to be
indexed, he need to split chinese word with space. I think that if I
start from such a text to implement indexing and searching, its going
to be much more simpler.

What do you think Nobumi (or others interested in the discussion),
does it make sense for you?
