Weird Characters in results

For people who are using ajaxsearch 1.80, using php4 and get weird characters in their search results.... Edit the file /classes/search.class.inc.php and go to the function called "getExtract".

There change the line:

$text = html_entity_decode($text, ENT_QUOTES);

to:

$text = html_entity_decode($text, ENT_QUOTES, ’UTF-8’);

But unfortunately the php function html_entity_decode doesn’t work with php version lower than 5.0. - see : http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25670

I also have the weird characters, but only in the link description texts.
Text on links looks fine, event when it has accents.

I have tried to remove the description using &descriptionShow=`0` and it does not seem to work. I modified the /templates/result.tpl.html template to remove the description.

[+as.descriptionShow+] is a placeholder. it takes the value of 1 if the data is available in the template, otherwise 0. It is not a parameter. So to remove the description, yes, remove the code partfrom your template.
