Ignoring cases for special characters

philippe.mettler · Post by **philippe.mettler** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 4:40 am

We have a Webinator 5.1. installation for an Intranet.

There we have the problem that a search beginning with a special character is always case sensitive. For example "Übersicht" does not return the same results as "übersicht".

Is there a known solution for this problem?

Thanks!

If your locale is set properly it should ignore case.

What locale to you mean? Didn't actually find a locale-property in the Webinator configuration.

Thanks for your help!

Locale is a property of your system and/or web server. You can force a locale by editing the webinator search script. Find the "set locale" statement. Uncomment it and set the value to the desired locale.
