Hi
I've posted this to the Spectra Forum, so sorry for the cross post for those
of you who read both.
Here's what's transpired so far on the forum:
My first post:
I've searched through the forum to discover why I get no results
when searching with words with special characters (�, �, etc.). As of March
2000, no one was sure how spectra was handling multilingual properties and
search capabilities.
I'm using CF 4.5.1, Spectra 1.01 on WindowsNT. I have added the fix
that allows me to index multilingual properities. And indeed, when I search
for a word in a multilingual property (for example "strategischen"), I get
the object that I expected in my result set. But when I search for a word
with a special character that is in the same object (for example "L�sung"),
I get a result of 0 records.
What do I need to do to make these words get found in the search? Do
I need to install a Verity Language Pack? Is there a hot fix for Spectra? Is
there something I can upgrade with ColdFusion?
Michiel Boland's suggestion:
What you could do (this is a bit of a hack) is store the
international
characters in HTMLEditFormat, so that � becomes ä etc.
If you also escape the international characters in your search terms
these should match whatever is in verity.
My test with his suggestion resulted in this:
Well, I tried putting the htmlEditFormat() function around the form
variable that I use to update the object in my cfa_contentObjectProperty
tag. I can view it in my maintenance tool if I output it using the
htmlEditFormat - but it doesn't appear to be saving to the object in that
form. When I view the object in webtop, it does not show me the escaped
content, just the regular content with all the special characters. So this
function seems to just work for displaying content.
What am I missing?
Does anyone else have any experience with needing to search using special
characters. This doesn't seem like an unusual thing to want to accomplish!
What have you all done to make possible searching in languages other than
English? Perhaps I do need a language pack or an upgrade?
Thanks for your help.
