Yes, new versions of MS SQL-Server can specify character collation and case/accent 
sensitivity on a per column basis.

But I don't think I can do a similar thing with Oracle 8.1.

What do you think would be the cleaner way to solve that problem? And are others 
concerned by that problem and would like to have it in mnoGoSearch?

(1) The simpler but less versatile: write a SQL script that remove accents from the 
DICTx tables. This script is started after the indexer cron job.
Then change the search screen to remove accents from user queries.

(2) Change indexer code to add a "NoAccent" runtime flag to remove the accents before 
inserting the words in database. This would need to allow the use of a collation map...

(3) Use a trick with LocalCharset=US-ASCII in indexer.conf to force 7 bits characters?

(4) Set ispell use with a modified French dictionary?

(5) Other better way, usable in other languages...

At the present time, I use solution (1) because we already have modified the search 
forms.
