suggestion about search in greek

[ksiopis]

Hi all, I am new here, just want to make a suggestion and found the forum. well I am greek and when I am using the Find option to find a keyword in a page there is an issue:

in greek alphabet, there are letters with accent or not, such as: α and ά , ε and έ ,ο and ό ,ω and ώ etc

when we search it is easier not to use the accent and search engines like google "understand" it and displays all the results, with accent or not.

Where should I address to post it as a suggestion?

thanks in advance

Probably it's easy enough for Firefox.
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ ... nsFind.cpp

Code: Select all

1181     else if (!inWhitespace && !mCaseSensitive && IsUpperCase(c))
1182       c = ToLowerCase(c);

Here nsFind is converting a Unichar(16bits) to lower case letter. I'm quite sure removing stress is no more complicated than ToLowerCase(). Very simple mapping.


The problem is, there are a lot of languages/characters in Europa, and in the world. Island people may want to remove umlauts but German may like to keep it. So first of all, we should discuss how to search a given text, a bit more seriously and strictly.
