I doubt it though. Otherwise you might choose a local field in the 9XX range and then change your MARC framework to also search that field. 14:12 jaron what you want may be possible with the zebra index without changing your records. 14:11 jaron martinmorris: see: http://www.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/character-map-files.tkl 14:05 martinmorris brb 14:05 martinmorris that's good 14:05 jaron it looks like for zebra you can create a huge mapping file string.chr which would do this. 14:04 martinmorris i'm tempted to automatically put something in 700$a without the accents for each case, but it's not idea by any means 14:03 jaron owen: yeah, it's not trivial to implement for sure. 14:02 owen I know the developers have discussed this issue before, but I'm not sure what the current status is 14:02 jaron I'm sure it's possible but unsure if something like that would be worked into 2.2. I wonder if zebra can handle this better? 14:01 martinmorris definitely 14:01 jaron it'd be nice to have those characters indexed by their latin1 counterparts without the diacritics 14:01 martinmorris will do :) 14:01 jaron let me know if you discover anything. 14:00 martinmorris fair enough jaron (hello btw) 14:00 jaron martinmorris: this is an issue I've encountered as well, but never had a chance to investigate. 13:58 martinmorris well, if anybody sees this, i have, for example, an author 'Petőfi, Sándor' and i'd like users to be able to search under just 'Petofi' without knowing about the accent on the 'o' - any ideas? 13:46 martinmorris hello, whoever's there got a question about fuzzy searching in the intranet and catalogue 13:16 hdl morning owen 13:16 hdl morning kados 12:23 kados bout time for some coffee ... I'll bbiab 12:23 kados hiya 12:22 jaron morning, kados 12:22 kados morning #koha
