Hi, Jack. First of all thank you for your help. Well, I tried again then I realized that my problem is not really with solr. I did run this query against solr after start it up with the command "java -jar start.jar": http://localhost:8983/solr/coreFR/spell?q=content:pr%C3%A9senta&spellcheck=true&spellcheck.collate=true&rows=0&spellcheck.count=10
It gives me the result: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <response> <lst name="responseHeader"> <int name="status">0</int> <int name="QTime">31</int> </lst> <result name="response" numFound="0" start="0" /> <lst name="spellcheck"> <lst name="suggestions"> <lst name="présenta"> <int name="numFound">10</int> <int name="startOffset">8</int> <int name="endOffset">16</int> <arr name="suggestion"> <str>présente</str> <str>présent</str> <str>présenté</str> <str>présents</str> <str>présentant</str> <str>présentera</str> <str>présentait</str> <str>présentes</str> <str>présenter</str> <str>présentée</str> </arr> </lst> <str name="collation">content:présente</str> </lst> </lst> </response> And I did run exactly the same query after deploy solr.war in tomcat 7. Here is my result: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <response> <lst name="responseHeader"> <int name="status">0</int> <int name="QTime">16</int> </lst> <result name="response" numFound="0" start="0" /> <lst name="spellcheck"> <lst name="suggestions"> <lst name="présenta"> <int name="numFound">10</int> <int name="startOffset">8</int> <int name="endOffset">16</int> <arr name="suggestion"> <str>present</str> <str>prbsent</str> <str>presentant</str> <str>presentait</str> <str>puisent</str> <str>pasent</str> <str>pensent</str> <str>posent</str> <str>dresent</str> <str>resenti</str> </arr> </lst> <str name="collation">content:present</str> </lst> </lst> </response> As my application is running under tomcat, it means that I have some issue with tomcat, but the weird stuff is that I already google it looking for a fix and find out that we have to set up a parameter into server.xml tomcat config file: <Connector port="5443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" URIEncoding="UTF-8" /> But it's not working as you "can see". I'm feeling a little stupid because it doesn't look like a big problem. For sure people around the world are using solr with accents queries running under tomcat properly!
