I am using PINOT and RECOLL on Linux indexing & searching a lot of romanian documents. On Windows, "Windows Search 4" has an option : "Treat similar /words/ with diacritics as /different words"./ The above programs are designed to IGNORE DIACRITICS (accented letters) when indexing , making searching immune to diacritics usage. The reason is that some people in Romania are using diacritics , other don't and we have both variants, sometime even in the same file. That's why , it's extremely important for us to have Tracker working in the same way. I know that patching Tracker to ignore diacritics when indexing and then searching is not a very difficult thing. Fabrice Colin (the designer of Pinot) has done that for Pinot in a couple of days. Is there a chance that someone from the developers to try to do that (I really, really don't have the time to dig in the sources) , I will support him with testing on romanian documents. Best regards and thanks in advance, Constantin Teodorescu
