Namazu-users-en(old)

["Hardy, Brian" <Brian.Hardy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.
I've been trying to configure Namazu to index and search some HTML pages that are in the Shift JIS character set. I'm using Slackware Linux 7.1, Perl 5.6 and Apache 1.3.12.

After reading all of the documentation that I could find, I tried setting up everything using a number of different values for the LANG environment variable (ja, ja_JP.sjis, euc).

When I used mknmz (with kakasi), it always reports the same number of keywords indexed. There are 150 documents, which are mostly articles, and that only produces 2541 keywords. That number seems a little low. I believe that mknmz is only indexing the English words in the documents, because searching for any of them returns success.

namazu.cgi understands the value for Lang as set in .namazurc, because it prints out the search form and results pages in the right character set.

If anyone can offer any further assistance with how to get some japanese searches going, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
Brian
