in my entire collection, there is just one row with the keyword 'angélica' with the accent, several others without. a fulltext search for 'angélica' returns all of them. it's almost as if mysql knows what the base unaccented character is, and is performing some normalization before searching. but I couldn't find this documented anywhere (tried a search for 'accented character fulltext', nothing looked relevant).
I don't think I _mind_ the behavior. In fact it may actually save me jumping through some hoops in order to meet functional requirements, but I just didn't _expect_ it...
