CSV File Issues

Hello,
I am having issues with csv files imported from an S3 bucket. The files get imported and indexed fine however what I get when i try to do a search on what has been indexed is something like this:

\x95\x90@\x12\xb1\xe4;g.\xa6\xa3\xfd\x99\xdf\x88I\xc4c\x08\xdb\x03\x00\x00\

Is there something im missing that prevents the simple csv file from being read properly?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Cesar,

Looks like you might be character encoding issues - can you try manually specifying a character set?

Hey, Thanks for the suggestion.
I forced the character set utc-8 but still getting the same result. Any other ideas? It happens with .csv files as well as .csv.zip.
Thanks again for your help.

CSV files may need to be UTF-16LE.
