Hi Yann, I'm pretty sure that this is a character encoding problem.

I use Firefox 3.6. Do you get hits with the first form, where â is replaced by %C3%A2? SolrJ will encode â in UTF-8, which is hex encoded as %C3%A2, not %E2, which is the Latin-1 encoding (aka ISO-8859-1; windows-1252 is almost the same). Are you using Tomcat? You need to change the configuration in order for Tomcat to properly handle UTF-8-hex-encoded queries - see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat#URI_Charset_Config Steve
