Before HyperCard implemented the "find international" option (hint,
hint, Scott), we used to do it this way:
put "d�bris" into searchWord
find searchword
if the foundText = searchWord then
-- it's a match
else
-- not a match
end if
You would still have to do the vowel substitution that Geoff talked
about to get your intial search word modified. Once modified though,
this is another way to accomplish the search without having to deal with
matchtext. Also, matchtext only works in one field at a time; the above
will search the entire stack.
