Eimar, When you installed DSpace, did you make sure to setup Tomcat & Java to run in UTF-8 encoding?
Specifically, if you look at the DSpace install instructions under the "Servlet Engine" there are a few notes which show how you can ensure everything in DSpace is using UTF-8 encoding: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/Installation#Installation-ServletEngine%3A%28ApacheTomcat5.5or6%2CJetty%2CCauchoResinorequivalent%29. Specifically, you should make sure your Tomcat <Connector> has "URIEncoding='UTF-8'" (see the page above), and you should ensure that your JAVA_OPTS environment variable has "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8". After changing any of these settings you should do the following: * Stop Tomcat * Re-index your DSpace content : [dspace]/bin/dspace index-init * Start Tomcat * Try the search again. Hopefully this time it will work. Let us know on this list if this still doesn't work for you. - Tim On 2/2/2012 3:15 AM, Eimar Koort wrote: > Hi, > > I'm encountering the same problem with Dspace 1.8.1 as described here : > > https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-112 > > > How to repeat: > Open http://<domain>/xmlui/search > > Enter to "Full text search" some problematic chars: > ä ü ö õ ('a uml', 'u uml', 'o uml' or 'o tilde') > > Hit "Go".
