Hello, I tested the ZCatalog search feature on text with French extended characters. I use Zope 2.1b2 on Win NT 4. I set the 'fr' locale in z2.py. Zope restarted OK. The results are strange: when words with extended characters are indexed in Text Fields, some can be found and some can't. (No problems in Keyword Fields). I think I narrowed it down to the following: some extended characters are OK and some are not. I enclosed below a list of 'searchable' and 'non-searchable' characters. I suppose there is a pattern but I couldn't see it. Did anyone witness similar behavior? Can I do something to fix it? Cheers.
