 WordPress uses simple string comparison in WP_Query->parse_search_terms()
 function, which is fine for many languages but Arabic need more than that
 to provide a really smart search!

 There are some chars need to removed before the string comparison, like:

 Hamza
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamza

 Diacritics
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_diacritics

 Tāʼ marbūṭah
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taw

 If this cannot be in core, Could you at least add some filters to do it ?!
