Can Thunderstone handle multiple languages and all Unicode charactersets (ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-7)

Do you work for Thunderstone? Could you also confirm that say if i have a greek based website and i spider the HTML using gw, when somone types in greek i can search and retrieve against this. Could you show me a Vortex script that would do this?????

I've been at Thunderstone for about 17 years. gw is not a Vortex script, and requires that you change index expressions from the command line. There are examples in the Webinator group for this. If you're using Texis, Thunderstone consulting can help you with whatever problem you're faced with. For an example See eBay Japan: http://ebayjapan.co.jp/

Okay. Could you explain how you would use Texis to search greek content and get returned the right answers without having to a) translate the content from native greek into western character set then translate the answers back into greek character sets for presentation?
