170129 - International Search Sidebar results don't display in correct character coding

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 145375

(SeaMonkey :: Search, defect)

Description

[lijin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0

when search in the sidebar with an Simplified-Chinese engine (google for
chinese) the search results are not displayed correctly. And there is no use to
change the charset.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open the search sidebar
2.choose a simplified-chinese search engine or make one for yourself
3.search and see

Actual Results:  
The search results are not displayed correctly. They are not in Chinese as expected

Expected Results:  
Display the search results correctly and let the user to choose which charset to
use.

i guess that the search source file should have something to do with this but i
tried so hard and there is no difference. now i think that mozilla don't support
two bite characters very well. as you can see when you type something in chinese
her could be something wrong(especially when type in the address bar).

Reassigning to Search, and adding intl.

[e-mail], I see you reported this using Netscape 7. Are you also able to
reproduce this using a build from Mozilla.org?

Attachment: the side bar doesn't display characters correctly as the main window does.

i can reproduce this using mozilla 1.1.

Seems to WorkForMe using Mac/2002091908/9.2.2. The SideBar results are displayed in 
Chinese characters automatically.
