bypass accents on searching

Submitted by javigdiaz on Tue, 2010-11-30 12:13 in

Hi david,

I hsve products with accents (spanish) in product name.
By example I have an article called "camión"

if a search by "camión" gives results.
if a search by "camion" gives no results

spanish users don't use to put accents on search boxes. Is there a way to solve
the problem without removing accents fron the product name?

I'm thinking on a caveat adding a new field called "product_name_without_accents" and redirect the search to both fields?

thanks in advance
javier

Hi Javier,

Yes, I know how to handle this and can make search ignore accented vowels. If you could email me your search.php and includes/admin.php I'll work it out for you...

Cheers,
David.
