IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the &quot;Restoring the Registry&quot; Help topic in Regedit.exe or the &quot;Restoring a Registry Key&quot; Help topic in Regedt32.exe.

SYMPTOMS
Because of a bug found shortly before SharePoint Portal Server was released, the indexing of Chinese (Traditional) files does not work. The MSSearch service reports the following event in the gatherer log when trying to index a Chinese (Traditional) file:

Error fetching URL, 80070002 - the system cannot find the file specified.

RESOLUTION
A fixed version of the word breaker component is provided on the SharePoint Portal Server CD-ROM, but is not enabled. Use the following procedure to enable word breaker.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the &quot;Changing Keys and Values&quot; Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the &quot;Add and Delete Information in the Registry&quot; and &quot;Edit Registry Data&quot; Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT or Windows 2000, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

 At a command prompt, type net stop mssearch.  Run Regedit, and edit the following registry key: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ContentIndexCommon\LanguageResources\Default\Chinese (Taiwan)\WBreakerClass" Change the first letter in the value from &quot;A&quot; to &quot;E&quot;, and leave the rest of the value unchanged.  At a command prompt, type net start mssearch.

This loads the fixed filter. Recrawl your content to successfully index it.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
