Wrong code set when searching. (ÆØÅ).

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hello,

When using the search field, Alfresco outputs weird characters:
When typing e.g. lørdag, this is the output:
Search for ''lørdag'' in site Archive returned 0 results   ( Search All Sites  ) 

This is only from searching. All other places (as far as I know) æøå is recognised and processed properly.

Please advice,

Oblivian

This is because the URI:s are not encoded right, you need to make sure that the encoding is set to UTF-8.

If you're accessing Tomcat directly there should be an entry in server.xml looking like this:

    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
               connectionTimeout="20000" 
               redirectPort="8443" />

If you're using a proxy you need to make sure that the URI is forwarded correctly from the proxy.
