Help ! No results when including <meta name="MS.LOCALE" content="zh-cn"> in chinese pages

[jazzdrums]

Hi,

I'm running windows 2003 server in french and I need to index and query
chinese pages on a chinese version of my website. I have this really
strange behaviour :

When I have the tag <meta NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ZH-CN"> in my
chinese HTML files, a chinese query in my code doesn't return anything.
But the english words in the chinese text are found. When I REMOVE this
tag in the file, it works !

My chinese HTML files are encoded in GB2312 and contain the tag <meta
HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=gb2312">.

I do the query with the parameters
objQuery.CodePage=950;
objQuery.LocaleID=1028;

I would like to understand this because I think that maybe when
removing the tag, index server doesn't process the file as a chinese
one and just recognize the query as a sequence of special characters
and not real chinese words.

What do you think of that ?
Thank you in advance if you can help

is this .Net? You have to set the culture in your web.config file for
Chinese.

Thank you so much for answering me hilary. Yes the culture is set in
the web.config like that :

<globalization fileEncoding="gb2312" requestEncoding="gb2312"
responseEncoding="gb2312" culture="zh-CN" uiCulture="zh-CN"/>

Do you have any other idea to investigate ? I really don't understand.

Just one more detail but I think it has nothing to do with the problem.
Since we're running a french Windows server and that our initial
websites are in english, I change this registry key in order to use by
default the english word breaker for french:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex\Language\French_French\Noisefile
noise.enu

But for chinese, default settings have been kept.

Thanks again for your help

Just to answer your question: yes, it's .NET.

reason of it.

Thank you
