Question Search not working with swedish characters

Hi

Only words containing å,ä or ö.

And you can aslo see this problem with PC and IE 6 and IE7. The only combination that works is PC + FF.

Cheers,

Ok, I may know why it does not work. Kunena Search uses UTF-8 for urls and it may not be supported by other browsers.

Hi

It does does not make sense to me. IE6 and IE7 must support that too, otherwise no one could use UTF-8. And åäö are in URL:s spelled the same way, no matter if iso or UTF-8.

I think the problem is related to the key word input field. When I write "sömn" in the key word field and click search I get the search result (in IE6) and in the keyword input field it still says "sömn". But when clicking another page I will not get any serach result and the word "sömn" in the key word input field is suddenly "sömn".

The url after searching the word "sömn" in IE6:
/option,com_kunena/Itemid,2077/func,search/q,s%F6mn/limitstart,0/

The url after clicking any of the page number buttons for pagination is:
/option,com_kunena/Itemid,2077/func,search/q,sömn/limitstart,15/

You can see the difference on the word "sömn". I think it is the input field that causes this.

Best regards,

Now I see it.

Joomla! 1.0 SEF does not urlencode() the urls. Input string seems to be ok, but redirect and URL's are not.

Will get back to you soon.
