    Default Search problem in English

    Hello,

    I have a non-English site and search works fine, but when searching for English words in the product name, it shows product not found.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    When you have your language set to say - German - when searching - it searches all the product German language descriptions - not all other languages.

    Thank you jpf for your reply.
    My site has both unicode and English characters. How can I make the search on both unicode and English words?
    Thanks for your help.

    Maybe you don't understand - English is a LANGUAGE - Unicode is not.

    Unicode is a computing industry standard allowing computers to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world's writing systems.

    Unicode is used to enter and display many non-roman characters like Chinese/Mandarin and even right-to-left scripts, such as Arabic or Hebrew...

    The search feature is a ONE to ONE match - thus looking for "LIKE" and "LlKE" will not find the same results (Upper case i {I} vers lower case L{l})

    If you mix non-roman characters when searching in English - then you ain't going to find things - unless you enter the SAME non-roman character strings.

    This is a user entry problem. Correct your entries to include clear english and not to intermix other languages. OSCMAX does not have a translational technology to search in English words on a non-English site.
