not that sudden Feb 27, 2011

I first noticed this a few months ago when searching unsucessfully for an accented term (I forget what). It turned out the term was in the glossary all the time but without accents.

This is unfortunate, as you rightly point out, especially when many people (to judge from Kudos in my pair) do not use accents, either out of haste or because they don't have the right keyboard.

I hadn't noticed this, but for Greek I certainly don't want the search engine to be sensitive to accents. Apart from anything else, I sometimes want to search for terms that are written in all capitals and do not have accents at all. The term search should be case- and accent-insensitive, or should at least have that option.
