You receive an invalid search result when you use a custom site context search box to search a document that has special characters in SharePoint Portal Server
You replace the default site context search box with a custom site context search box that uses Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server search results. When you use this custom site context search box to search a document that has special characters, you receive an invalid search result.
For example, you have a document that has German characters and that has been indexed. You type the following address in the URL dialog box and then press ENTER:
http://MyServer:9091/Search.aspx?k=veröffentlichten
When you do this, you receive an invalid search result. Additionally, when you view the custom site context search box, you find that the word "veröffentlichten" is missing the "ö" character.
This issue occurs when you use the JavaScript
escape function to encode the URL when you create the custom site context search box. The
escape function cannot encode special characters correctly.
To resolve this issue, use the
escapeProperty function when you create the custom site context search box. This function is defined in the Ows.js file. This function can encode the URL correctly.
For more information about how to create a site context search box that uses SharePoint Portal Server search results, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
