I can confirm this.

I don't think the fix is that complicated either.

I'm not really familiar with the libraries (and I'm a GNOME user), but a quick
search reveals that KDE has reliable BiDi support since 3.0.1.  In particular,
I found this function:

QCString QHebrewCodec::fromUnicode ( const QString & uc, int & lenInOut ) const
[virtual]

(from http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/qhebrewcodec.html)

which I could guess, that if the search string piped through it before the
search takes place, it would fix the problem.

(Although there might be a more suitable Qt bidi function which fixes Hebrew,
Arabic and all other RTL languages in one go.)
