Wrong code set when searching. (ÆØÅ).

Hello,When using the search field, Alfresco outputs weird characters:When typing e.g. lørdag, this is the output: Search for ''lÃ¸rdag'' 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 proper

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.

Hi !

Have a similar problem when try to use åäö, in name or description or any property, from IE7 or IE8 browser ( from FF it works fine)
I tried your changes but that would not help (and I suspected that since thees values are posted ? right ).
