: We have data having such symbols like : µ : Indexed data has - Dose:"0 µL" : Now , when it is searched as - Dose:"0 µL" ... : Query Q value observed : <str name="q">S257:"0 µL/injection"</str>
First off: your "when searched as" example does not match up to your "Query Q" observed value (ie: field queries, extra "/injection" text at the end) suggesting that you maybe cut/paste something you didn't mean to -- so take the rest of this advice with a grain of salt. If i ignore your "when it is searched as" exampleand focus entirely on what you say you've indexed the data as, and the Q value you are sing (in what looks like the echoParams output) then the first thing that jumps out at me is that it looks like your servlet container (or perhaps your web browser if that's where you tested this) is not dealing with the unicode correctly -- because allthough i see a "µ" in the first three lines i quoted above (UTF8: 0xC2 0xB5) in your value observed i'm seeing it preceeded by a "Â" (UTF8: 0xC3 0x82) ... suggesting that perhaps the "µ" did not get URL encoded properly when the request was made to your servlet container?
