Search files need to default to "ISO-8859-1", not "UTF-8". This is extremely important for when a search file doesn't specify its encoding.

Marking nsbeta2... looking for approval to check in.

What is the use visible affect here?

The "visible effect" is that many Sherlock files (for non-Latin-1 web sites) from the net won't work correctly. This is a trivial fix... merely a string change.

Chris (Waterson), I've attached a proposed diff... care to give me a quick review?

Looks good. Use NS_ConvertASCIItoUCS2()... r=waterson

Fixed.

Since the default is changed to ISO-8859-1, NetCenter search file should specify charset as UTF-8, otherwise non Latin1 (e.g. Japanese) search will not work.

Netcenter is working on switching over internally to UTF-8... once they are done, the appropriate files can/will be changed over. :^)

Has this regressed? bug 35076 DE:PR1 "Ticket OnlineEvents" search extended char. problem claims it is still failing with a 6/9 build.

I believe this is fixed. Can we close?
