I discoverd this while testing today. Location names with the
Norwegian characters (æøå) do not work from the front page. I
discovered this first when looking up Tøyen, which returned results as
if I had searched for 'yen'. Next I tried to search for Bø, which
showed "Wide character in syswrite at /usr/share/perl5/File/Slurp.pm
line 332." in red and the string "bø" in the search field. "ø"
should the byte stream as represented in ISO-8859-1 of the character ø
in Bø, but I am not convinced it make it into my email.
This make me suspect there is some UTF-8/ISO-8859-1 character
conversion error somewhere, or some reply from the browser get the
wrong HTTP header.
JFYI.
Happy hacking,
