scandinavian characters does not work in search pattern

[roskaa]

hi,


i am using an old 2.55 webinator, and i just dont know how to make search when search pattern includes scandinavian character(s) like äö or ä and ö.

everything else is working fine.

i have read the manual and guessed that "-k" could be the key to the solution, but i dont know how to make it work.


thank you,

pasi

Add
-k"[\alnum\x80-\xff]{2,30}"
to your gw options when walking. To reindex your existing walk database
gw -dYOURDB -unindex
gw -dYOURDB -index -k"[\alnum\x80-\xff]{2,30}"

now it works, but the scandinavian chars are case-sensitive in pattern.

that is fine, but is there a workaround for this?

thank you,

The newer versions of Webinator will respect the locale, so they can handle the case-insensitive search if the locale is set correctly.
