Elias and Lars, what do you two think searching for o should match? Should it match ö and ø, or not? IF you want o not to match ö and ø, then you want ö and ø to be a class by themselves. One way to handle each class is the asymnetric way: searching for the base character matches all of them, but searching for one of the other character matches only itself. In Swedish, ö could be the base character and ø a variant. In Danish, ø could be the base character and ö the variant. Would each of you be happy with that mode? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
