Thanks for sharing Tina!

I formatted your code too, I really need to implement the bbcode tags and auto-formatting.

Hi Matt,
I'm succesfully using your search with a German language site. It works great. Recently, I made a small modification, to enable the search query via GET method as well. I did this to so that I could get the searchplugin I made to work both in IE and firefox (post method will only work in firefox, IE is special as usual) ... Thought I'd share (hope its ok here, otherwise just delete or rewrite) ...

if (isset($_POST['search_query']) or isset($_GET['s'])) {
// Get the POST search query and clean it up
if (isset($_POST['search_query'])) {
$squery = strip_tags(strtolower(cleanXSS($_POST['search_query'])));
} elseif (isset($_GET['s'])) {
$squery = strip_tags(strtolower(cleanXSS($_GET['s'])));
}

Then, I made a new file called browsersearch.xml with the following content:

Your Site Title
Your Site Description
http://www.your-site.com/favicon.ico

and finally, changed my index to include a new meta tag ...

Hi.
Great mod! Polish signs works fine on my site.
Only title looks little funny (look at firefox tab http://f.imagehost.org/0561/searchmod.png).
Will be great to display search phrases in title, description and keywords.

Yeah, sorry Roie, I wish I knew, there appears to be a problem with url encoding and non Latin character sets, but to be honest, that really isn't my best area of knowledge :/

Damn, I'm not sure, I've tested it here on my site, I've tested it on my "sandbox" site, and I've tested it on Philippe's site too, all of them accept huÅ›tawki just fine.

Maybe it's the web server itself with the redirect?, are you using Apache, IIS, Litespeed?

Hmmm, I'm not able to duplicate that on my site, maybe urlencode is mucking it up...

Are you sure your PHP encoding is UTF-8?

You can try what Philippe did recently, set the locale manually at the top of your snews.php file, that may work?

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'pl_PL.utf8');
