Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 98073

(watch this bugzilla page using the "ISO-8859-8-I" encoding)

In order to find text using the FAYT feature in pages using the hebrew visual
encoding, ISO-8859-8, you have to write the text in reverse, in
http://www.haaretz.co.il/ for example, typing "חדשות" won't find anything, you
have to type "תושדח" to find חדשות... I guess it should be fixed this way or the
other :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://www.haaretz.co.il/
2. type "חדשות", FAYT finds nothing
3. now type "תושדח", FAYT finds the link titled חדשות


Expected Results:  
When typing "חדשות" it should find the חדשות link... quite easy i guess :)

oops... something went wrong with the encoding...

חדשות means חדשות
תושדח means תושדח

I hope nothing will go wrong now :)

Comment 2

[Daniel Rozenberg]

as i feared, something went wrong with the encoding
i'll make it easier, if the word starts with 1495, it's חדשות, if the word
starts with 1514, it's תושדח

Does find in page find the text in the correct order?

Comment 4

[Daniel Rozenberg]

No it does not, I guess they're dependant...

Comment 5

[Aaron Leventhal]

Okay, that means this isn't a find as you type bug.

Akkana, do you know what component general find bugs go under?

Comment 6

[Simon Montagu :smontagu]

The corresponding bug report for Find in Page is bug 98073, and this may just be
dupe of that one.
