National Characters, a new twist

[Thunderstone]

By using the exellent tips from this list I've managed to index several =
collections containing Natnl (swedish) chars.=20
My new problem is that, when searches involve natnl. chars they all of a =
sudden become case sensitive:
Å (Capital A with a ring ) is not equal to å .
8-bit chars behave the same and I suspect that the same goes for &#nnn; =
=20
Any workaround for this?
TIA,

This may be an OS problem. If the machine's native character set is set
up to be ASCII instead of Swedish then Webinator / Texis will not perform
case comparisons correctly.

Which Operating System are you using?

[Thunderstone]

perform

The System is set up for the Swedish Locale (as the default locale)


NT-server V4 SP3 (english)

After seeing your reply I noticed that our machine was indeed set for =
english locale, swedish charset. I changed that to swedish locale (using =
the regional settings of the control panel)
I still retain the swedish keyboard thou.

I've reinstalled webinator and regenerated the databases but I still get =
same result.

It's a locale setting problem. Some operating systems don't
pass the locale settings into Webinator the way it currently
expects them. The next release of Webinator, due out relatively
soon, will contain the extra code needed get the information from
those operating systems (including windows nt).
