Question

Hi, It seems that SearchEnginePluceneAddOn doesn't like special characters (with accents etc):

Can't add out-of-order term geÃxtrapoleerde lt

I'm pretty new to this; could someone point me into the right direction for where to look / what to install?

Thanks!

I haven't used Plucene, but at first sight this looks like something is getting encoded to UTF-8 when it shouldn't be. InternationalisationEnhancements has some possibly useful links in its Unicode section, but some TWikiDebugging would be necessary.

I have no problems indexing and searching spanish/catalan topics/attachments (which have accents and other chars à é ï ...) with a Linux box (locale settings to en_US.ISO-8859-1) running both major TWiki versions (latest Cairo/Dakar)

The only pending issue is about special characters in comment field of attachments, which are not displayed properly. Plucene documentation is not clear enough about fields encoding ...
