Today is a national holiday in Belgium, and Google made a special logo with the Belgium flag on the letter 'L' at www.google.be [google.be]. As usual, clicking on the logo results in a search related to the logo. Because this country has 3 official languages, there are 3 different queries linked to the logo:

Dutch: Belgische Nationale Feestdag
French: Fête Nationale Belge
German: Belgiens Nationalfeiertag

I don't have a French OS, but for me the click on the logo of the French www.google.be fails to produce a logic query. The following code is used for the French version:


<a href="/search?q=%22%C3%AAte+Nationale+Belge%22"><img src=logos/belgium.gif width=276 height=120 border=0 alt="Fête Nationale Belge">

The '%22' is for a double quote, and '%C3%AA' stands for the 'ê'. So this search will fail.

Tagaki, I like your research, considering it comes from the other side of the planet!
Looks like a bug indeed... but hey, which country is stupid enough to accept three official languages :-)
