SQLite doesn't support these kinds of searches. It treats o and ö as two distinct unrelated characters. You could write a custom function that would convert accented characters to their unaccented counterparts (though Swedes aren't likely to appreciate your treating å and a as the same letter). Then you can use it like this: SELECT * FROM language WHERE StripAccents(word) like '%o%'; Igor Tandetnik
