hi all,

i need sphinx to ignore accents while searching, so that if i search
for example for "Débats" it would find "Debats"

is there any option which allows that in the engine or plugin?

if not, then i think i will use the solution to replace accents in
indexable values.

so that

define_index do
 indexes name
end

will become something like (not tested)

define_index do
 indexes
"REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(
 
REPLACE(REPLACE(name,'À','a'),'Á','a'),'Â','a'),'Ã','a')','a'),'Ä','a'),'Å','a'),'à','a'),'á','a'),'â','a'),'ã','a'),'ä','a'),'å','a'),'Ò','o'),'Ó','o'),'Ô','o'),'Õ','o'),'Ö','o'),'Ø','o'),'ò','o'),'ó','o'),'ô','o'),'õ','o'),'ö','o'),'ø','o'),'È','e'),'É','e'),'Ê','e'),'Ë','e'),'è','e'),'é','e'),'ê','e'),'ë','e'),'Ç','c'),'ç','c'),'Ì','i'),'Í','i'),'Î','i'),'Ï','i'),'ì','i'),'í','i'),'î','i'),'ï','i'),'Ù','u'),'Ú','u'),'Û','u'),'Ü','u'),'ù','u'),'ú','u'),'û','u'),'ü','u'),'ÿ','y'),'Ñ','n'),'ñ','n')",
 :as
=> :name
end

since i have much more models and attributes to index, i will probably
put that into mysql stored function;

i'd be thankful if anyone which encountered the problem and knows how
to improve the solution would share the knowledge

thanks in advance
