Not able to search using special characters
November 11, 2009, 04:45:46 am
Hello,
When I use spcial characters is a search string the search will fail:

Hübert will fail, while Hubert returns Hübert.

I'm perfectly able to enter data containing special characters, its only the search string that is not understanding the special characters.
Thanks
Joop

Hm, it's the second time this kind of issue pops up, another one is under investigation in this thread: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,10313.0.html

Querying for Hubert and getting "Hübert" as result makes me confused - I don't think we have diacritics "translation" built in - perhaps IDS is doing something I don't know about. Can you please follow up on questions from the thread I linked above (db encoding, browser encoding etc) and paste results here? Let's try to investigate this problem. Also, which search are you using? (simple/advanced/custom, etc) Which version of CiviCRM this problem refers to? (you have two versions listed in your profile info)

Thx,
m

Hello Michal,
Let's hold on for a minute. I have just checked using all special characters we have in Dutch and I can use all other special characters.
search word Clément returns Clément.
So for the time I need to check the Hübert-case more whether it is not related to something else.

I also checked the topic mentioned and al settings are OK.

I will come back here when I know more.
Thanx, Joop
