Hi,
the problem here is that words are truncated in the word database and
the accent algorithm uses them to construct its own database. But
when the user make a search, the words are not truncated when the
corresponding accents keys are calculated so it does not find them. So
the generateKey method must truncate before calculating the key because
it can't know if it is call by htfuzzy or htsearch.
And when you have a word less than the maximum, there is no problem.
For the others similar algorithm this don't seem to be a problem
(soundex and metaphone) because they restrict themselves to a key of
6 characters.
Thanks.
Also thanks to Gilles for his patch.
