<![CDATA[Google Search and Chinese Language]]>Hi all,

My machine A., Search engine default:

http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest

It is okay to search in my country language ( Chinese )

My machine B., Search engine default:

http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest

It is N-O-T okay to search in my country language ( Chinese )

As you can see the string are the same on both machines , any reason ( and solution ) to why the search result is different ?

The machine B search result is in " SYMBOLS " instead of Chinese. The way I make my search is type right away in the address bar as I set above as default search engine., so I do not need to type the 'g' keyboard prior to my search.

Thank you
Edmond.

I even set a dedicated Page on Facebook named "F*ck Google!".

I discovered when I type in the address bar in my Natgive language in my office machine, the google search result auto change to use the google in my Native area: ( www.google.com.hk)

https://www.google.com.hk/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=天下&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest&gws_rd=ssl

I check again all my Opera search engine but they are not set to google.com.hk. but the below:

http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest

Is there other place I could reach in Opera Profile to see why Opera able to automatically switch to google.com.hk.

Because so that I can "copy " above to other of my Opera copies they can use this NATIVE language search.

Best regards Edmond.

I am still unable to have my HOME OPERA copy to search in my language.
( when typing my native language in address bar (Big-5) , the google search result is consider symbols something like this: ?b )

I am okay & able to have my OFFICE OPERA copy to search in my language.

Both setting the same as sgunhouse mentioned above.

in the problem machine at HOME , every of my custom serach engines are having the same ' symbols' problem., such as if I seach duckduckgo, google translate, yahoo...my other custom search.

What every I start type Big-5 in address bar, problem came.

Thank you!
Edmond.

I'm presuming 12.xx ... in which case the problem is elsewhere. Try Preferences > Advanced > Network, the checkbox that says Encode interrnational web addresses using UTF-8.
