Search crashes with the national letter

[Mindaugas Žakauskas]

Search for users by clicking on the initials of their first and last names not working with national letter. For example with Lithuanian language pack.

Message of error:

"Mahara: Invalid Parameter
A required parameter is missing or malformed

The 'f' parameter is not alphabetical only "

Version of Mahara: 1.6.2, 1.6.3
OS: Linux
Database: Postgres 9.1.8

I think the problem is with unicode symbols in regex. Regex in param_alphanum function (lib/web.php) update will resolve problem:
preg_match('/^\pL]+$/u',$value) instead of preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/',$value).

Also, maybe needs to review all regex in source there national symbols can appears.

Hello Mindaugas,
