texte = Thanks for all the hints! The solution Chris mentioned works perfectly if you search for "caf=E9", = =20 because it removes the accented character and also looks for the word =20= "cafe". But, as all the words in my client's database are properly =20 spelled and you won't find any record with "cafe" but "caf=E9" in it, if = =20 the user types it incorrectly (without the accented character), which =20= happens a lot, it won't return any records. If I try to make Chris's solution to work backwards, it will look for =20= c=E1f=E9 or m=E1m=E1 or s=F3l=FAc=ED=F3n (it will put an accent in every = vowel) and =20 there's no way I can tell the engine where the accented character =20 should go, so I'm stuck again. I wish future versions of WebDNA could work the same way Google =20 handles this kind of issue (search for the word regardless of accented =20= characters). Is there any chance?
