i had such problems with norwegian characters and it resolved into making sure the querystring has the same encoding as the index has.
since this is again a java.lang.String encoding question i had these problems with querystrings coming from java Servlets and CLI. For both the quickfix was to re-encode the query in UTF-8/16: String querystring = argv[0]; ' String querystring = httprequest.getParameter("query"); querystring = new String(querystring.getBytes("UTF-8")); ... this fixed my norwegian/samii problems... mvh karl řie On mandag, okt 7, 2002, at 13:04 Europe/Oslo, Dominator wrote: >> I use czech language with more bizzare characters and there is no >> problem at all.
