Hi,
For case insensitive you must use the regexp search as follow :
SELECT title, firstname, lastname, description FROM stuff
WHERE title *~ '.*<keyword>.*' AND firtsname *~ '.*<keyword>.*';

I don't know about windows-1251. Perhaps this can't help you. But if
you have japanese in you database, you can proceed a search on it so
why not windows-1251 ?
