Greetings.

I have Text fields in some tables which contain text in Portuguese with
accent characters like á, à, é, í, ú, ü, ó, ö, ç, etc.

When I query like:

SELECT text_column 
FROM table  
WHERE text_column LIKE ‘%maçã%’
[ or ]
WHERE text_column LIKE ‘%ç%ã%’

it also returns 'maca', 'maça', etc, which are different words.

How can I restrict results to accent characters/words?
Must I use the '=' operator instead of 'LIKE'? In that case I suppose I do
not get results for similar words.
Adding a FULLTEXT to those text fields would solve it?

The charset on all the tables is latin1, using Mysql 5.

Thanks in advance.

Pedro.
