Incomplete results with Turkish characters in Indexing Service

Question

Finally I get to post my ı's and İ's as promised...

I've found that MS Indexing Service returns incomplete results when searching for documents with Turkish content. It seems to choke especially regarding the (incorrectly-named) 4I problem.

Apparently, MS has fixed this problem with a Windows 2000 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325333 service pack, but the bug seems to be resurrected with Windows XP & 2003.

Anybody uses Indexing Service in their line of work? Similar problems with other non-English locales? Any solutions?

Answer 1

Are you a Turkish developer? You should update your profile so we know! It makes this question more interesting, I think.. :)

Answer 2

It looks like the Microsoft developers didn't read about the Turkey Test in a post by Brian Moser. If their app doesn't handle Turkish locale, you may be out of luck.
