In firefox, character encoding is set to UTF-8 Yes, I'm sending the query directly to solr using apache httpclient and I set the http request header content type to : Content-Type="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
Any suggestions Thanks in advance -----Original Message----- From: Grant Ingersoll [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 2:43 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: problems with arabic search Can you give more detail about what you have done? What character encoding do you have your browser set to? In Firefox, do View -> Character Encoding to see what it is set to when you are on the input page? Internet Explorer and other browsers have other options. Are you sending the query directly to Solr or is it going through some other servlet? If you are doing this, and _IF_ I recall correctly, I believe you need to tell your servlet the input is UTF-8 before doing anything else with the request. See http://kickjava.com/src/filters/ SetCharacterEncodingFilter.java.htm for a Servlet Filter that does this (it's even Apache licensed!) You will need to hook it up in your web.xml.
