**FIXED** (hopefully) HACKED SEARCH FUNCTION - 4/13

[2gus4tav]

Okay thanks.  I've been trying to get help from the SMF board on this, so please keep checking this thread to help troubleshoot if any of their suggested changes help fix this problem.

Thanks, 2gus4tav, for all your efforts on this.

For many this issue seems trivial, but for those accustomed to this punctuation, it is like being forced to mispell certain words--and with no Spell-Check to correct them.

I'm sure many of us appreciate your work to try to solve it.

Okay, I think I've fixed it?

Please advise.

EDIT: Looks like you've done it, Scott! Congratulations and thanks.

And I will try the German and Spanish words I tried earlier:  hübsch (with an umlaut on the u)  creí (accent on the i)

[Constantin]

Scott,

By Jove, I think you've done it!

Thanks for your tenacity!

On a Mac you use option-u and then type the letter where you want the umlaut. As in Hübsch.

There are also French grave and acute accents available. Option-e yields an acute accent (sloping to the right) over the next letter. French for doctor: médecin.

French grave is option-`(accent key to the left of the number row). French very: très.

There are other diacritical marks accessed in similar ways.

These show on my screen and may show up in the post.

On a Mac option U + letter equals an umlauted letter as in: ü. So, I believe it works this way: hübsch, Furtwängler,  Götterdämmerung. If five umlauted letters show in this message, it works on a Mac.
