Subsonic Forum

Search from main web page cannot find anything if I type query with Russian characters.

I discovered that index file is produced incorrectly, '?' instead of real letters, instead of using UTF-8 encoding or similar, file is produced with local codepage encoding which cannot represent whole set of Unicode characters. I also have few mp3's which named using other non-english characters, Chinese and Japanese. Search does not work for those as well.

Do I need to fix something in the configuration? Or the source code has to be modified to fix that issue?

I use Subsonic v4.4 (build 2172) server on Windows.

So I went through the code and I think I found a fix for that. Unfortunately, I have no java installed, cannot compile, and test it. Would anyone from the developers run this through?

Replace:
writer = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(getIndexFile()));
with
writer = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(getIndexFile()), "UTF8"));

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(getIndexFile()));
With
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(getIndexFile()), "UTF8"));

private static final int INDEX_VERSION = 13;
with
private static final int INDEX_VERSION = 14;

I have the same problem with 4.3 for Windows. Songs with Chinese folders and file names are displayed correctly. But they cannot be searched.

Have someone managed to get search work?
