Searching in multi-byte languages (Japanese, Korean)
 

Just a question though: Is there ever going to be searching in other languages like Japanese and Korean? I mean, right now I "can" search by typing in those languages to search, but the results do not even come close (I get results in english only).

SO I think an option should be added to select filename encoding.

P.S Displaying results that do come back n another language just look "messed up."

The Gnutella protocol currently dosent support different encodings. I can't send search requests with different encodings because other peers dont understand them and wont send me right results back for it.
This would need a gnutella protocol change.

if gnutella 0.6 protocol handles only iso-latin 1 encoding.

multibyte characters emulation

phex search field : utf-8
convert from utf-8 to non lossy-ascii encoding
search command send : non lossy-ascii
search result recieve : iso-latin 1
convert from non lossy ascii to utf-8
display : utf-8

support 2byte characters
 

Being thought as evasion step the character string which is converted
as the ISO-8856-1 code prepare the function which is converted to the
correct character string.
this is sample code.

public static String raw2String(String raw, String encoding)
throws UnsupportedEncodingException {

return (new String(raw.getBytes("8859_1"), encoding));
}
