How do I search using non-English characters? – SearchBlox Help Center

Here are a couple of things to check when using non-English language characters:

1. Please ensure that the collection was created with the correct language.

2. For regular search please make sure that the fe parameter is set appropriately in the search form.

This should be set to UTF-8 if your search form is encoded as UTF-8

The fe parameter specifies the encoding for the search form. Here is an example:

Code:


<FORM name="search" action="servlet/SearchServlet" method="GET">

<!-- Encoding of the Search Page -->
<input type="hidden" name="fe"
 value="euc-kr" /> <!-- Specify the sort option to be used --> <!-- Valid sort options are
 date - sort results by date
 relevance - sort results by relevance
 alpha - sort results alphabetically
 --> <input type="hidden" name="sort" value="" /> <!-- Specify the collections to be used
 Multiple collections can be specified as:
 <input type="hidden" name="col" value="1" />
 <input type="hidden" name="col" value="2" />
 -->
<div id="collectionIds"></div>

<!-- Specify the XSL to be used to display search results
 Setting this value to "xml" displays search results as XML

 Note: This option is not available in the SearchBlox FREE Edition

--> <input type="hidden" name="xsl" value="" />
