texte = Hi Nitai, I work in Spanish, German, and English and had to solve this one too. I [URL] wrap all data before it goes into a db, then the searches=20 containing accented characters work fine. So for example: Stiftung Matthias K=FChn in the db is=20 Stiftung%20Matthias%20K%FChn Then use a search like [search=20 db=3D[db]text.db&geFIELDdatarq=3D[url]K=FChn[/url]] (It also works if you do [search db=3D[db]text.db&geFIELDdatarq=3DK=FChn])= Obviously UnURL the founditems. Although not related to your question another thing I do whenever=20 collecting form data is add accept-charset=3D"ISO-8859-1" to the form tag. Hope that helps.
