Hey guys,

I was looking for the movie "Verrückt nach Mary" and used the instant search on the top. After putting my keywords into the ajax-formfield, i clicked beneath the instant-searchresult on that button "See all reults for 'Verrückt nach Mary'". This link brought me to the general sarchresult page and i saw some encoding issues with the umlaut ü. Look for yourself:



 The url of that general searchresult page was: http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=Verr%FCckt%20nach%20Mary&ref_=nv_sr_sm.

I that case, the umlaut ü must encoded by the uri character %C3%BC instead of the regluar escape character %FC.

cheers

Güten Tag Herr bulletinmybeard,

Umlauts and many other special characters are part of the Unicode character set. There is a suggestion for IMDb to "Support for Unicode".

I support that suggestion. I recommend that you click the "Like" (or +1) button on that page to show your support for the idea.
