Hi I have a site in flash 7 woth coldfusion webservice. I use the Verity search engine shiiped with coldfusion but I have problems in my search. When I create my xml files, the coldfusion won't index any file with accented chars. Verity should be international (utf8 support). I tried everything.

The workaround I found is :

Before indexing, I strip the accented char in the XML files.
Before Searching, I strip the accented chars in the query.
My problems is the result that verity returns don't have any accents.
Somebody ever have this problem. If you don't undestand what I mean go in my site http://www.ena.lu/dja and search for example "comité". You'll see what I mean in the results.

Thanks in advance.

Never used Verity and so I only know the basics about it. The default language for verity collections is English.

I think you may need a language search pack or something. Heres the bumf I managed to find...

Support for International Languages

The ColdFusion International Language Search Pack can be purchased and installed to index data in any the following languages:

Danish
Dutch
Finnish
French
German
Italian
Norwegian
Portuguese
Spanish
Swedish

The default language for verity collections is English. To index data in one of the supported languages, you must select the language from the drop-down list when you create a collection on the ColdFusion Administrator verity page. You must then enter the selected language as a value of the LANGUAGE attribute in both the CFINDEX and CFSEARCH tags used against that collection.

To order the Language Pack, contact Allaire Customer Service or visit our online store at http://www.allaire.com/store. The default installation directory for the dictionaries is in \cfusion\verity\common.

The Allaire link is out of date obviously but there is a redirect. Come to think of it I didn't upgrade my server since MacroMedia took over so maybe this info is out of date. :confused:

Worth checking out though.

OK, thanks for the reply, I will check.
