An example would rock this thread, Andrew. Transliteration is non-obvious. From the GNU iconv page: "It has also some limited support for transliteration, i.e. when a character cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated through one or several similarly looking characters. Transliteration is activated when "//TRANSLIT" is appended to the target encoding name. " So you would need to pre-convert all of your searchable terms into ISO-8859-1/TRANSLIT ? _______________________________________________ New York PHP Users Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/Show-Participation
