Hi Michiel, Thanks for your reply.

A combination of database search and search on a standardised field might do the trick. For instance: When searching on "Yes": 1. use a database to search on "Y%s", 2. filter the resultset such that all the special characters are mapped to their standard form, e.g. map all �, �, � and � to e, 3. use a Java search in the filtered resultset on "Yes". It doesn't sound that bad for performance. What do you think, should i give it a try? Regards, Henk. T. +31-(0)6-29054903 E. [EMAIL PROTECTED] I. http://www.mmatch.nl
