When launching browser with an argument of a word, browser will take that
argument as a search keyword. And the browser comes up with the search result
for the keyword.
If the argument is a Japanese word, when browser comes up, the Japanese search
keyword is displayed garbled on the Sidebar search field and is displayed as
question marks on the title of the search results. The search result looks
correct.
To see it, just run "./netscape nihongo (in Japanese)" on linux or run
"netscp6.exe nihongo (in Japanese)" on MS console.
I'll attach screenshots later.

The same thing happens when trying to search a Hebrew word from either the
search sidebar or the address bar. The query gets sent to the search engine
(google, in my case) as question marks.
writing the same query in google's form yields a correct answer.
Tested with 0.9.8 on windows and 0.9.9 on linux.

The same behaviour can be observed in Mozilla 1.0 RC2 (2002051006) and Polish
characters.
Different ways to reproduce:
1) Open a page with Polish characters.
2) Highlight a word containing Polish characterd (for example: w³a¶nie).
3) Right click on it and choose Search for [word].
or:
1) Type in a Polish word in the address box.
2) Instead of opening address choose "Search for [word]" from drop down list.
Expected result:
Default search engine searches the web for that word.
Actual result:
International characters are turned into "?" marks and searched word has
improper spelling - the original word is not searched.
The same happens when cyrilic characters are used.
I'd change Summary: to
Search by passing keyword as an argument can't display keyword with
international characters correctly.. or something ;)

Looks like it's working in 20021016 at least on Linux. I was able to type in
Polish characters and run Search with no errors.

It's also 'keyword server' dependent. If you change your default 'keyword'
server to google (the default is search.netscape.com), it'd work much better.
Another related issue on Windows is that the command line argument is restricted
to the character repertoire of the current 'legacy' code page.

I think both roy and me are off mozilla for more than 2 years. If these bugs are
still here now, I think the real stauts is 'won't fix'. If you want to reopen
it, please find a new owner for it first.
