Calling all geeks!

The website currently has two search bars: Japanese and English. This is because if you type in kanji into the English search bar, you get nothing. If someone could figure out how to merge the code so you can type English or Japanese, please let me know.

ENGLISH CODE:
<form action="http://jhsenglipediaproject.com/GoogleSearchResults.aspx" id="cse-search-box">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-3392177217614021:x7ig8j-n11y" />
<input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:9" />
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" />
<input type="text" name="q" size="31" />
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search Englipedia" />
</div>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.co.jp/coop/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&amp;lang=en" defer="defer"></script>


JAPANESE CODE:
<form action="http://www.google.com/cse" id="cse-search-box">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="cx" value="013785672546498350506:ntgbp75gl18" />
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" />
<input type="text" name="q" size="31" />
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="検索" />
</div>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/coop/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&lang=ja" defer="defer"></script>

This line in English version:
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" />

should change to unicode if possible (value="UTF-8"). Maybe as simple as that.?..

Will a normal javascript search function not search Japanese?

[Otaku]

It was really that simple!!!

Peet, where were you when I needed you!?!?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, I've got 1000's of pages to update! Thanks, buddy!

[peet]

Glad it was that easy, because anything more complicated I would have been out of ideas

Unicode is great though. Like 10 yrs ago before Unicode was widely in use, you always had to go into your browser view options and change character encoding just to get most Japanese/Foreign pages to display the characters. Now just the one UTF-8 encoding can display almost any language.

Yeah, but without ANY background in coding, things can get pretty challenging sometimes.

@Sir, I set up that search bar years ago using a program Google created. I couldn't get the bilingual thing working right away and I was doing a ton of other stuff at the time so I moved on and simply smacked down a J & E search bar. Don't know if a normal javascript would have worked...and reference first sentence of this post. :)

No background and you have here an amazing site Sir Otaku.

XML was as far as I got and I havent used it in years. Glad its fixed thanks to peet!
