   Solr Indexer and special characters

   Wed March 12 2008 13:05:02 UTC
   Hi!
   
   I'm fiddling with my indexer installation again and noticed that it's
   not possible to search for a string containing a special character. For
   example, "gepäck" always becomes "gep�?ck" in the jetty log file, and
   consequently, no results are returned.
   
   I've searched a bit on Google, but only found one hint on how the
   problem might be corrected when using tomcat as a servlet container (but
   I failed miserably in getting it installed), and another one about using
   a solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory filter to convert the special
   characters, but this only leads to Schema Parsing Failed exceptions.
   
   So I wanted to ask if anybody has experience with this. What needs to be
   done to set up Solr properly? I followed the documentation on m-p.org,
   but it doesn't say anything about this issue.
   
   
   Bye,
   
   Andreas
