Opencms – create search with umlauts

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

After hours of research, emailing and testing I finally got a working and clean search engine in opencms. The problem I (and many others had and still have) is, that OpenCms/Tomcat/productX re-encodes a query string to ISO-8859-1. But lucene and Opencms store the search index in UTF-8. So this is a big problem, because the search list has not the real querystring the user entered anymore.

I decided to create a little how-to for any opencms user with the same problem. If you have any problems or feedback, please let me or the mailling list know.

Hope this helps you
