Joshua,
I'm not really asking for a new feature. I'm just trying to get the
accent insensitive search to work. If you look at the 3.23 Change Log
http://www.mysql.com/doc/N/e/News-3.23.0.html
the ninth bullet says:
"Changed LIKE character comparison to behave as =; This means that
'e' LIKE ''e' (if the line doesn't display correctly, the latter 'e'
means a French 'e' with a dot above) is now true."
So, I'm still thinking my configuration is messed up or something.
