Special CharactersSpecial Characters
Accents and special characters (such as a-dot, umlaut, o-slash) in the Roman alphabet languages are ignored for the purpose of alphabetizing the words, and non-exact searching. Thus, if you search for guter you will find Güter, Guter, and guter. Use an equal sign to specify the exact form in a text. Tools do not support the equal search for exact forms.
 |
Note We understand that in many languages these special characters are not accents but different characters so that there is no connection between the words Güter and Guter in German, or møte and mote in Norwegian, and they should be listed and searched separately. However, Accordance is not currently able to handle these characters in any other way. |
