Hi,

I have created one index and into that index, I have created two documents, one document contains data in English language and another document contains data in the Japanese language. but when I am searching data of Japanese language using query (GET /index\_name/\_search?pretty=true&q=είναι) it is showing error as "Illegal request-target, unexpected character"  
Is I need to the analyzer for different languages Please help me into this?

You need to make sure that you are sending your text in UTF8 encoding.

My 2 cents
