Paul Piper commented on OFBIZ-4535:
-----------------------------------
I am not entirely convinced that this is related to the Filter, though I could
be wrong. The underlying issue looks like an encoding issue to me, switching
from UTF-8 to an ISO based format or vice versa. I am not sure that this is
actually happening within the CatalogUrlFilter, but I will have to look into it
myself... On a first guess, i would look into the keywordsearch.groovy file
where a char conversion is more likely to be found.
@sebastian: the drawbacks are mainly related to some hefty changes in a future
OFBiz version. Even the patch we provided isn't 100% spot on, since we tried to
introduce changes without reworking all of the original URL generation code.
Though it can be used, ideally it should be fully integrated into OFBiz at some
point.
You see, the underlying issue with OFBiz URL generation is that there is an
assumption of pages being rendered through other means than /control. Though
this is never the case, it remains the reason why we misuse the index.jsp file
to do redirects to /control and handle it with a controlservlet in there. To be
fair, this is common practice among web application development, but a practice
that leads to undesired effects from a URL or even customer point of view. The
ootb version of OFBiz unfortunately only works around the issue, which is why a
lot of redirects take place and yes, also make the same content available under
2 different urls. Both are dangerous when it comes to SEO. The fix would be to
map the controlservlet to / and introduce proper filters to handle the
auto-generated URLS (product, catalog).

> Key: OFBIZ-4535
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4535
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: specialpurpose/ecommerce
> Affects Versions: SVN trunk, Release Branch 12.04
> Environment: Ubuntu and others.
> Reporter: mz4wheeler
> Attachments: r1127449-r1127394.diff

>
> NOTE: The following post contains UTF8 characters.
> After rebuilding keywords in a UTF8 database (postgres) and searching a UTF8
> browser (chrome), the Russian phrase is correctly present in the database, as
> follows:
> ofbiz=# select * from product_keyword where keyword = 'игроков';
> product_id | keyword | relevancy_weight (trimmed)
> -----------------+---------+-----------------
> DVDMV-ADVANGYM | игроков | 1
> However, when pasting 'игроков' into ecommerce Search, the following is
> returned "Not Found"
> Keywords: "Ð¸Ð³Ñ Ð¾ÐºÐ¾Ð²", where any word matches, which distorts the search.
> This may affect other languages, which I haven't tested.
> I also tried the same search in 12.04 (demo) and trunk and it produces the
> same issue. This means that multi-language product search is broken in
> OFBiz. 11.04 is unaffected.
