Hi, does anyone know if there's a way to do international searches in openldap?.
I have a spanish directory with names like "Sánchez" and "Sanchez", which I'd like to get (both of them) when I search for "Sanchez". Now, it only returns "Sanchez" which is the natural behaviour, but it's also very annoying because most times you don't know how it's really spelled or, if the person who entered the data, spelled it right. So I just want to know if there is a way to perform this kind of international searches, whether using openldap or some generic LDAP feature that I'm not aware of. So that searching "Sánchez" would return "Sánchez", "Sanchez", "Sanchéz", etc. This is very language dependant, I know, but I think there shuold be a way to do it, cause it's a much needed feature among international users. So far I've looked in LDAP RFCs and openldap documentation/mailing lists without any luck. The only workaround I know is to search for "S*nchez" but that's not very end-user friendly, which is a requisite in this case. Any help or tip will be very appreciated. Thanks in advance!
