    German and French support

    I am using the UTF-8 encoding, the same of my web site (specified in the web.config).
    For German and French searching, the results page displays strange symbols for accent/diacritic characters. Even so the link to the result is actually right.
    Am I using the wrong character set? I have tried different combinations, but the result is the same.
    Any suggestions?

    Normally UTF-8 is specified in the HTML documents themselves, and by the encoding of the characters on the page. I am not sure what you are refering to with, web.config.

    What is the URL to your search function so that we can see the problem?

      If you are using the ASP.NET wrapper as described on this support page (since web.config is usually a ASP.NET file), please note the "Troubleshooting" section on that same page which explains how to handle a common issue with charset/encoding.
