[Isis-users] Problem with search

[De Smet Egbert]

If the problem is only with special accented characters (e.g. AMAZôNIA) then I suspect you didn't index the database with the appropriate actab.tab and uctab.tab files.
Make sure they are in the data folder of the database and you refer to them when indexing with mx.

We are looking for a solution to make sure also indexing from within ABCD (i.e. from the interface) allows the use of the actab en uctab tables.

Dear Edwin,

The problem stays with search on a title via index, for some records. It gives 0 (zero) records as result. I tried it with a small database to see what went wrong. But I don't know. Is the fst right? and the advanced search form? Can it handle titles longer than 58 or 60 characters?
When searching on all words (TW), that is going well, when I put 'and' between the terms of the title.
The text of the fields is ok, with all accents etc., using your 2 files in /data folder.
My computer has Windows 7 Enterprise. (2009, version 6.1)
ABCD version is: ABCD 1.2 beta1 version COLBIB / AdeKUS 2011 VLIR/UOS and BIREME

Regards, Mia
