I'm trying to find a way to create a web picture search, searching for a phrase that is written in a double-byte character system. When trying to do so, EPF translates it into a string of %3F, which is basically "?" in hexadecimal. I tried translating to UTF-8 hex myself and pasted the string into EPF. For example, "スーツ" in Japanese translates to "%E3%82%B9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%84" in UTF-8. I pasted the UTF-8 string into the program. But, the search engines attempt to search literally for the UTF-8 string, and not the actual double-byte characters.

I can manually in the web browser enter the following into the URL:

http://www.google.com/search?q=%E3%82%B ... C%E3%83%84

And Google will automatically translate the string to "スーツ".

So, I'm figuring that EPF must be somehow sticking the search string into quotations, or something along those lines.

I only have four days left on the install, so if there isn't a quick solution to this, I'll have to search for a tool elsewhere. Thanks!

OK, the new version is released with the support for multi-byte characters in the search phrase:

Tried it, and it does work!!!! Thanks for letting me try the beta version.

Be sure to download and install the release version from the link in my previous message.

I read that this is final version instead of Beta version

Yes, it's a release already.

I'm having this same problem with 3.64.1 version.

What kind of problem do you have? I just created and ran a search project with the phrase "スーツ", and here is the result:

The starting address tab doesn't recognize these double byte characters.

For example "https://foamgirl.net/tag/%e7%88%86%e6%9 ... ekokoyoshi"
