Is there any way to write a search function that can search for words that contain accented characters when the user types in words without accented characters?
My database has a lot of names in it that have characters with accents and other non-keyboard characters. When users search the database, I would like for them to be able to find records with accented characters even if they don't type in the accent. For instance, a user might be searching for a text by the author Chrétien de Troyes. Right now, they have to type "Chrétien" into the search form to find him: I would like for a search for "Chretien" to also find "Chrétien." This strikes me as a rather common problem: is there a good solution for it? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
