Unicode matchChunk (was multiple-word phrases, links)

[Toma Tasovac]

Thanks to Kjeti, Chris and Ken.

Chris, your script works great with English, but I can't get it to work 
with Unicode text.  I tried to unidecode both the text field and 
thePhrases and thus deal with two one-byte chars per one Unicode 
two-byte character, preform the matchChunk function with one-byte 
chars, and then use the startChars and endChars in the unicode field, 
but the results are weirdly off.

I don't know if this is a bug or if I am doing something wrong.  Has 
anybody successfully used matchChunk with Unicode text?  Any hints 
would be greatly appreciated.

All best,
Toma
