Hello Marco,

Users have previously asked me about translation of all accented characters to ASCII equivalent as that is the more common way to search - if you wanted to try this edit includes/tapestry.php and look for the following code at line 22:

$text = str_replace("-"," ",$text);

...and REPLACE with:

    $text = str_replace("-"," ",$text);

    $text = iconv("UTF-8","ASCII//TRANSLIT",$text);

(and re-import)

Cheers,
David.
