If this scenario were reversed so that the search client was Russian and the
server was Chinese (Taiwan), and the client requested the
ResultListTemplate_ja.html template, then the lookup order would follow the
order shown in the following table.
All templates undergo this rigorous lookup system. Once a template is located,
its name is stored and associated with the original client locale so that all
subsequent requests for that template from the same locale automatically find
the template without performing the same rigorous lookup.
No further lookups are attempted for that combination of client locale and
template name until the NetWare Web Search Server is restarted. If all
template lookups fail, then an error message is returned to the client
performing the search.
Understanding Character Set Encodings
A character set is a grouping of alphabetic, numeric, and other characters that
have some relationship in common. For example, the standard ASCII
character set includes letters, numbers, symbols, and control codes that make
up the ASCII coding scheme.
A character set encoding is the mapping of a character set to a value that can
be understood and processed by a computer.
NetWare Web Search relies on character set encodings to identify the
characters used when performing a search, reading a template, posting results
to a Web browser, or indexing Web-based content. If the encoding information
is missing in any of these areas, NetWare Web Search uses the default
Template Name What Web Search Concludes
