FIX: Incomplete search results when you search non-English content on a Commerce Server 2009 website if you use the Search Results Web Part

Hotfix information

Note This hotfix adds an option that lets you choose the query language when you perform SharePoint content searches. This option can be set to the language setting of the browser or to a specific language if the hosted website uses a different language that is set in a site variation on the hosting server. By default, SharePoint still uses the language setting from the site variation for the SharePoint website.

Notes

• The installation file that you have to install depends on the version of SharePoint that is installed on the computer that is running Commerce Server.
• You must use the local administrator account to install this hotfix, or you must run the hotfix by using the Run as Administrator command.

After you run the installation file, use the method described for one of the following computer configurations to resolve the issue:

• Configuration 1

  stsadm -o upgradesolution -name microsoftcommercewebparts.wsp -filename MicrosoftCommerceWebParts.WSP -immediate -allowgacdeployment
