RHN Satellite 5.3: documentation search does not work when user's browser specifies en or de-de in Accept-Language

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Documentation search does not work when browser is set to en-GB or en, only works with en-US
  • Red message: "Index files missing from search-server. Assuming data exists in database,indexes can be regenerated by running: /etc/init.d/rhn-search cleanindex, then restart rhn-search"
  • Search should work in any language and/or default to en-US if it can't find the browser language.

Environment

  • Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.3.0
  • Locale Preferences is set to "Use Browser Settings" and the browser is set to send "en" or "de-de" before or with higher q than any other supported language identifier ("en-us", "de", "it")
