... When I enter a phrase query on this index (using double quotes) with some accentuated characters (like "département"), I raise an exception : UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range (128).
The same query without quotes doesn't fail.
I hate these "encoding error" and get rid of them by setting Python's default encoding in "sitecustomize.py" to our default encoding.
I never got my head around how to use these...
What do you change and what have you changed it to?
My sitecustomize.py looks like: import sys sys.setdefaultencoding('iso-8859-1') Nowadays, "iso-8859-15" would be more correct (it contains the Euro sign). Dieter
