non-Latin-1 characters cannot be submitted for search
-----------------------------------------------------

         Key: NUTCH-138
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-138
     Project: Nutch
        Type: Bug
  Components: web gui  
    Versions: 0.7.1    
 Environment: Windows XP, Tomcat 5.5.12
    Reporter: KuroSaka TeruHiko
    Priority: Minor


The search.html currently specifies GET method for query submission.

Tomcat 5.x only allows ISO-8859-1 (aka Latin-1) code set to be submitted over 
GET because of some restrictions of HTML or HTTP spec they discovered. (If my 
memory is correct, non ISO-8859-1 characters were woking OK over GET with older 
versions of Tomcat as far as setCharacterEncoding() is called properly.)

To allow proper transmission of non-ISO-8859-1, POST method should be used.  
Here's a proposed patch:
*** search.html Tue Dec 13 15:02:15 2005
--- search-org.html     Tue Dec 13 15:02:07 2005

  <input name="query" size="44">&nbsp;<input type="submit" value="Search">
  <a href="help.html">help</a>

  <input name="query" size="44">&nbsp;<input type="submit" value="Search">
  <a href="help.html">help</a>
  

BTW, I am aware that Nutch and Lucene won't hanlde non Western languages well 
as packaged.
