Implement a PythonScript that performs the normalization of "context.SearchableText()", say "NormalizedSearchableText".
Ensure, it is acquirable by your indexed objects.
Index "NormalizedSearchableText" rather than "SearchableText" and use this index for your searches.
Ensure, that you perform the same normalization on search terms before you use them in a query.
Weel, I cannot change the index, it already has his name... it is a collection of thousands of object, this one I want to pre-filter before index are just a small part...
But your index currently has unnormalized values. Thus, you must rebuild it. When you rebuild it, you can also give it a different name.
Or you mean I have to do something about SearchableText()?
Yes, replace it by "NormalizedSearchableText".
I have to index in a way the user find the term even if it does not use accented letters on a current index that already has indexed thousands of objects...
I have understood that... And my advice applied to precisely this situation...
Can I hook somewhere in the middle, so I Index them in the way I want? :)
You can (and must) normalized the search terms. However, the indexed values need be normalized, too. Almost surely, there are not now. This means, rebuilding the index -- this time with normalization... -- Dieter
