make it not case sensitive (or make that a possibility)

I see now Drupal 4.7 is not case sensitive (I had'nt reindexed my site, sorry).

But the issue for Search ignoring diacritics or reagruping may stand alive...

If somebody with enough knowledge could care (a module as somebody hinted in a forum thread?).

Thank you :)

I really don't know a lot of when it comes to i18n but if it's as simple as stated in the link you provided I wouldn't mind doing a simple module. I may actually have to use it for a site that I currently working on.

Do you know where I can find a list of 'diacritics' and their English equivalent? By the way have you checked if this functionality is not provided by another module?

Thanks.

Found this function from wordpress. Seems to do what is required. I would just make a direct copy if doing a module.

OK. It seemed simple enough so I did a module. Tell me if it works for you.I did a basic test here and it seems to work.

If it is useful I can create a project for it. I didn't do much work on this that Stephen for the link above and the Wordpress guys.

Oh, you'll need to re-index your search.

canen,

Thanks a lot!! I'll take a look today to see if it works ok.

As for he requested list. I think it 'should/could' be summed up with two simple rules:

1. Any vowel with a diacritic reverts to a diacriticless version; ie: "á â Å ã" are all "a". This option has only advantages as this diacritics are always typed twice: One for the tilde and one for the vowel. So users tend to forget it (even if they know it).
2. Any consonant with a diacritic has a synonym; ie: año (Spanish for year) is searched as "año" and "ano". This option, however has some disadvantages as languagues with those diacritics tend to have one kestroke assigned to them and they can be sound/meaning quite different pairs (for example: Spanish Año is "Year" and "ano" is anus, in the example above).

So, comes again the possibility of making an option of an "ignore diacritics when searching" tickbox. But I guess that is much heavier work than just the first option that is extremely important by itself and, as a speaker of a diacritic-loaded language, is extremely helpful.

A happy Gustavo :)

Ps. If we are talking about diacritics in utf-8, I guess the canonical source is Unicode.org perhaps?

It works. After loading it I reindexed and cronned and now "imagenes", "Imágenes" and "imágenes", etc. (Spanish for images in all its variants) give back the same results.

That's (from the usability point of view) absolutelly splendid.

Thanks. IOW a pint (or 2... ) ;)

PS. I guess this would be of interest for other Spanish, French, Portuguese, etc... users.

please do not change issue titles - thanks!

Created a project here http://drupal.org/project/accents. It may take awhile to show up.
