How can I change the encoding of FCKeditor for iso-8859-1?

Hello,

I have a difficulty with the searches, I have an spanish site. An example: damages is "daños" in spanish, it has an special character: ñ
In the search box I place daños and I get in the URL of the site: resumenes.php?s_keyword=da%F1os

And I get my "No Information found" page, but there is a page with the word: daños

Inside the web page the word "daños" is written as:

da&ntilde;os

I guess is encoding UTF-8 but the server is writing in the search on the URL this word as: da%F1os (I guess the server has a default character set 'latin1'. The default collation for latin1 is 'latin1_swedish_ci' ) for this reason the search fails. Please understand that I am not expert in these issues.

1.- How and where can I change the encoding of FCKeditor, so it writes in the text area in 'latin1_swedish_ci' or 'latin1_general_ci' I guess is iso-8859-1 not in UTF-8 and my search be able to work for the special characters also? I have not seen any encoding option in the fckconfig.js file.

2.- Can somebody please be so nice to look at this other post where I have another question and give me some insight in this issue:

Hello,

I changed my web page to UTF-8 to be compatible with current FCKeditor encoding, but unfortunately FCKeditor is still placing HTML 4 mnemonic for the special characters like "ñ"

&ntilde;

instead the corresponding UTF-8 characters. And of course my search script fails to find this characters, I double checked and my script is searching with UTF-8 and MySQL databse is also set to UTF-8.

Can somebody be so gentile and help me to find why this is happening?

Thanks a lot
