Smart search

[Valentina Sirkova]

Hi,

I need to implement "smart" search which  should not take into account  
spanish special characters, but their ascii equivalent instead,  
examples are á, í and so on.
 For instance we might have entered as a person last name into the db  
"García", but when searching we would like to find this last name no  
matter if we write "Garcia" or García.
Do we have such functionality in OFBiz and if not could you give me  
some suggestions/tips for starting such implementation.

Thanks :  Valentina
