[Zope] Zope 2.3.2 version

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

Solution is (and it's a hack); create an alternate index method within
whatever it is that you are indexing that outputs the text, and for every
word with an accent, strip out the accent (perhaps use a python dictionar=
y
of character mappings).  Index that method (or methods).

You are then indexing un-accented text.

Then, write a method that translates accents out of the search text by
rewriting the field in the REQUEST object for each text box where people
enter text (using the same code as above).

Not a graceful solution, but would be transparent to the user - though th=
is
might get a bit tedious if you have lots of fields/methods/properties wit=
h
full-text indexes...

Well, the Catalog doesn't do that.  Sorry!

When you make a search in a site, for example AltaVista, how
does it work??
The site ignores accentuation.

I realy need to do that. The search has to bring related
results to the keyword, not only results that has it. A
basic feature to do that is to ignore accentuation.

Maybe in english that doesn`t make much diference, but in
many other languages, like in portuguese that has almost the
half of the words with accents, it is impossible to have a
search without it.

So, someone see any solution?

Thanks.
