Suggestions to enable search in JP

Here is a suggestion from one of our JPBE.net members to fix DBGoogle so that it can be used with Japanese.

*********
Under "GoogleIcon.cpp", "TrayView::MessageReceived(BMessage* message)" converts the text into hexadecimals using "char", which means that everything above 0x80 becomes a minus value. So, to start with, change "char" to "uchar". Then, "text" is defined as "const char*", but it should be "const uchar*" instead.

Also use: url.Append("http://www.google.com/search?hl=ja&q=");

Adding "&lr=lang_ja" as shown above will use www.google.co.jp (which is desired for search in Japanase).

*********

The above changes should enable search in Japanese. We would be glad to test for you if you out out a new release with the suggested changes.

As i dont have jananese fonts on my system (i will not be very useful to me ;-)), i build another version with particular url for japanese google site.

Try it (new build @ http://beosland.free.fr/archives/DBGoogle) and tell me if it's better... The difference is that utf8 set in url....

Japanese doesn't work

Hiya,
I tried the Japanese locale for DBGoogle and found that it doesn't copy the Japanese characters properly to the google search field. Instead of searching what i typed in Japanese, it just searches for "?FFFF?FFFF?FFFF?FFFF?FFFF?FFFF" which doesn't return me anything but websits with alot of f's in it.

It seems to search the same F string no matter what i type (in Japanese) in DBGoogle.

Can you fix this bug so the Japanese locale is usable for searching in Japanese?

Thanks.
Tim.

JA
