Zoom supports a wide variety of languages such as French, German, Italian, Hebrew, Cyrillic (Russian), Greek, Arabic, and others. But the search page must be configured accordingly, depending on the encoding you have used on your website. The Zoom Indexer application supports Unicode, and thus, multi-byte character strings. This allows you to index and configure your search engine for many languages using the UTF-8 encoding. However, due to the nature of the scripting platform and the server restrictions of your web host, searching for some Asian languages such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean are limited. Searches will still be functional but accuracy is hampered due to the lack of a proper language definition to identify words. For the following language settings to work, make sure your search template HTML file is specified for the correct charset. For example, <meta HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
