Hello, I'm still having problems with MySQL 3.23 being accent sensitive during searches. However, I'm now tested to ensure I'm getting the correct accented search term to MySQL. Here's my test page, which includes a small database of names with 2 entries per name, one including an accented vowel. http://www.sedl.org/accents.html If you search for "Jose" (no accent on the e) you get Jose (no accent) If you search for "José" (with accent on the é) you get José (with accent) At first, I thought it might be a problem with MySQL not recieveing the accented value in the search term correctly, but that still doesn't answer why searching for "Jose" (no accent) doesn't act like a wildcard to pull up the record with the accented value as well as the unaccented value.
