    Default Verity non-english collection - URGENT!!!

    I am building a coldfusion publish site application for non-english langauges,
    which works fine.

    I have <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8"> on my all pages which
    displays the content perfect.

    I have major problem. On my Verity serch collection for non-english
    collection results summary shows junk characters. I've changed my
    <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8"> to <cfprocessingdirective
    pageencoding="ISO8859_1"> on all the pages it screwed all the pages display and
    still vertiy search summary display junk characters..

    I tried to change from <cfprocessing to <cfcontent> same issue.

    The following things are taken care
    1. search collection language selected "french", "italy" etc...
    2. <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8"> in all the pages including
    search results page
    3. Verity language pack installed

    Is there any Patch do i need to install? Or any

    Thanks a ton!!!

    what version of cf? you need 7 if you want to use unicode w/verity.

    then i don't believe you can use unicode (utf-8) in the verity that comes w/cf. do you really need unicode? if you do and you're on IIS, you might have a look at it's index server.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I am publishing the sites from my main application.. If i remove the
    CFPROCESSING tag at the top on every page it shows junk characters on the
    pages... i have to put the unicode tag on every page then only the pages
    displays correct. I do have <meta> tag on my <head> still i have to put
    CFPROCESSING tag.

    I am using Windows Box... Is there any admin screen for Verity? in
    coldfusion administrator I can view collections.. I don't see any admin screen?


    Thanks

    cf ignores those meta tags (but you should include them for other s/w). no,
    cfadmin verity bits only manages collections.

    of course, the easiest thing to do is upgrade to 7. but...do you really need
    to use unicode? what encoding are your cf pages/data? what languages do you
    need to support?

    Thanks for your reply... I can't upgrade to CF7.

    My CMS app publish around 40 to 50 pages of site. It publishs around 16
    languages European as well Asian Fonts.. As of now it works great.. I don't
    have any problem displaying the pages (the publish engine publishes not only
    simple pages it also got user login, user creation and simple document
    management system with content for 40 to 50 pages.

    Can I use different meta type? other than utf-8? I am totally struck with
    Vertiy search!!

    Thanks and expecting some solution for it.

    well it seems you have to use unicode but as i said the verity that ships w/cf
    pre-7 doesn't handle unicode. i guess you could look at a full license of
    verity (but i think upgrading to 7 would be cheaper and better). if you can't
    use index server (or maybe lucene) than i guess you're stuck w/trying to do a
    search and replace on the garbaged chars (i think you might be able to stitch
    the char codes back to the original unicode code point depending on how
    garbaged they are and if you can indeed id them in the first place). but i'm
    also fairly certain you won't be able to search those collections on the chars
    that are getting garbaged.

    I am not a Verity expert, but guessing your foreign language characters are encoded in something other then UTF8. Have you played with Solr as a search engine? It is bundled into the latest version of ColdFusion, and because everything is in UTF8 you don't have any encoding issues. You can also download it separately from [url]http://lucene.apache.org/solr/[/url].
