Thanks Eric, did they tell you why because accented terms in French, Portuguese, Spanish ARE searched.
This behavior applies to what roman character languages exactly and/or to what accents ? For instance German seems to be ok with the umlaut (ü,ö etc.) but ç with French is ignored, how did they decide what accents to include and what not ? Does the development team expect foreign advertisers to ignore accents and misspell their content (I assume not) or is it a catch-all solution where accented and non-accented results are added ? This means that accented terms for these particular languages/accents are ignored also in the SERP's ? I think it undermines the fidelity of the results since it is unknown to what extent the results come from the accented terms and to what extent it comes from the non-accented terms, furthermore the accents are ignored with the advent of idn's where exact searches on accented terms might be relevant for indexing. Sorry but it does raise some questions :) .
