Not so for other attributes. See:

http://www.mentata.com/ds/retrieve/gospel/svchapter/GCMatt18

The chapter is assembled from the values for the description attribute 
of several verse entries. The attribute can be searched as easily. Such 
operations should work for any utf-8 syntax attribute. Perhaps you are 
using an attribute in your RDN that is not defined to use utf-8. As 
others said, it may also be that you're using a different encoding for 
your data.

Hope it helps.
