Problem with substring search with German umlauts RH2019.0.12 new UI HTML5 output

Hi all,

I have a problem with the substring search in the HTML5 output. I am using RH2019.0.12 new UI, but the problem also occured with update 11. The search settings for my output are as follows:

Use topic description = true

Enable auto complete = true

Auto correct search query = false

Show definitions from glossary = true

Enable substring search = true

Add special characters for search = false

Generate XML sitemap = false

In my output, I have several topics containing the word "Primäreinzelkosten". If I search for "primär", I only get results containing exactly the word "primär", but not the "primäreinzelkosten". If I search for "primä", I get no results at all. If I search for "prim", I get all topics containing "primär", "primäreinzelkosten" and "primrose" or whatever. So the substring search seems to have a problem with the "ä". The substring search works as expected for example when searching for topics containing the word "Kostenblock". They are found whether I search for "koste", "kosten", or "kostenb".

My project language is set to German, my output language is also set to German. I tried outputs with the following Encoding settings: Default Encoding, Westeurope(ISO), UTF-16, UTF-8 without BOM. I also tried the outputs in different browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox). No matter what, I do not get any results when searching for "primä".

Does anyone know if there are further settings that I can check in order to make this work? Or is this a bug? In this case, I will create a bug regort.

Thanks and regards
Karin

I have created a bug for this now, including the test project showing the issue.

Searching on primär with language to German, I get only one result like you. Unless Adobe come back with something, I suggest you add my project to any bug report as it is a simple example of the issue.

Yes, this is another problem. You have to create a synonyms file for German to make the output work. Just write "a - a" or something in it.

Try generating my project set to German. I just attempted that and it is hanging at Starting Generation. Before changing the language it was fine.

With primä I get two results, which is correct.

So a character that is used in the German language breaks the search when on a German language system. 🙂

Let us know what Adobe come back with.

Peter, it is working with your sample. However, there is a difference in the settings. You are using Project Lanuage EN (UK), I am using German as project language and output language. With these settings, it is not working. I just ran another test with project language German and output language Default. This seems to be working. The problem with this setting is, that the RH-texts like "inlcude all words in search" etc. are not displayed in German but in English.

I will wait for feedback from the techcomm guys and then possibly raise a bug.

Thank you very much for your support!

Kind regards

Karin

Thanks Peter, file came through now. Could you please run a test with your project searching for "primä"? "Prim" has been working for me as well.

The email bounced so sending it via WeTransfer. Meantime this is what I get with your settings.
