Searching data using regular expression

I want to search in my data. I'm using regular expression with IsMatch() function.

I have a class: 

public  class MyClass
    {
        public  string Name { get; set; }
        public string Address { get; set; }
    }

I want to search in my data by Name Or Address, and Name or Address Like input With input FuzzySearch is: a%b or a%b%c or japanese characters (ex:区%水).

In main function I have a list: List<MyClass> data and using regular expression with IsMatch() function as below: 

Regex regex = new Regex(FuzzySearch, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);


var allInfoList1 = allInfoList.Where(x => regex.IsMatch(x.Name) ||
                                      regex.IsMatch(x.Address)).ToList();

Sometime result is true, but sometime result is wrong( with case input is japanese characters)

(Is the regular expression not support unicode?) Are there any other solutions?

Rather than implementing your own document search engine, I would suggest considering tools like Apache Lucene or Apache Solr. I do not know your specific use case, and perhaps my suggestion is an overkill, but I would give it a thought.

Hope I helped!
