Hello,

Do you have a non-English Clip-Bucket powered website? Then you might have found either yourself or your audience trying to search for videos using foreign characters (ie. â, ê, î, ô, ä, ë, ï, ö, etc.) and having no search results being displayed. Per an Arvixe user request, I’ve decided to write this article to finally allow this characters to be used in the search query. This article was tested to work with v2.6.

The change will be simple, we will just comment a function’s content and return a non-touched variable.

1. Open search.class.php, located inside ./includes/classes/*

2. Find

function set_the_key($string=null)

3. Comment the whole function content and before the ending }, put:

return $this->key;

Our whole function will look like this:

function set_the_key($string=null)
	{
		/*if(!$string)
		$string = $this->key;
		$pattern = array('/(\w+)/i','/(\++)/i',"/(\-\+)/i",'/(\-+)/i');
		$replacement = array('+$1',"+","-","-");
		return $this->key = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);*/
		return $this->key;
	}

4. Save and Upload.

And there you go! If you get stuck at any step or come up with a question, please do not hesitate to contact me. Any comment or suggestion is welcomed!

Best Regards,

Richi
