Unable to Search German text

["Manepalli, Kalyan" <KA...@orbitz.com>]

Hi All,
            I am facing an issue while adding multi language support in the Solr.
Here is what I am doing.
1)       have a field of type text_de which has analyzer as snowballporterFilterFactory with German2 as language
2)       copy the german locationName into this field at the index time.
3)       I can see that german text is converted into its corresponding English text, but still it doesn't return the doc when searched

Example:
Add a document with locationName as "Köln" into the field text_de.
When I run the analyzer on this field it display "Köln" converted into "koln".
But when I search for "koln" I don't get any results.

Any suggestions on this will be very helpful


Thanks,
Kalyan Manepalli

I found what I was doing wrong. The XML document that I was posting didn't have the char encoding info, due to which the solr was ignoring the special chars.
