Unicode Decode Error

[Na Peters]

Hello,

So I had the search working on my project but now when I search for things I am getting UnicodeDecodeError at /search/.... any ideas what could have caused this or how to fix it?

[Dave Hall]

Can you paste in the entire traceback?

At a guess, a model's __unicode__ method is returning a str, rather than a unicode object.

I have no idea. It appears to happen when compiling the Django templates. I think you've got a template file somewhere that's not in UTF-8.
