Are you using Tomcat with Solr? If so you need to add the URIEncoding attribute to your Connector. See this url -
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html I hope this helps. If you are using Jetty then ..... :) Aaron -----Original Message----- From: Marc Bechler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 3:14 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Query for German "Special Characters" (i.e., ä, ö, ß) Hi SOLR kings, I'm just playing around with queries, but I was not able to query for any special characters like the German "Umlaute" (i.e., ä, ö, ü). Maybe others might have the same effects and already found a solution ;-) Here is my example: I have one field called "sometext" of type "text" (the one delivered with the SOLR example). I indexed a few words similar to <field name="sometext"> <![CDATA[ This is really fünny ]]></field> Works fine, and searching for "really" shows the result and fünny will be displayed correctly. However, the query for "fünny" using the /solr/admin page is resolved (correctly) to the URL ...q=f%C3%BCnny... but does not find the document. And now the question: Any ideas? ;-) Cheers, marc
