+Please note that `WholeTextFinder::find` function is multi byte safe and returns the correct word positions in the original phrase. Take a look here:
+
+```php
+//..
+use Finder\WholeTextFinder;
+
+$haystack  = "La casa è bella bella";
+$needle = "bella";
+
+$matches = WholeTextFinder::find($haystack, $needle, true, true, true);
