Thread:Extension talk:TitleKey/Accent and special characters independent search

Would it be possible to use this extension to make MW search independent of accents, umlauts and diacritical marks on page titles?

I have a Portuguese installation of MW and users are not being able to find what they are looking for unless the search term has all accents.

What I NEED:


 * Accented page title results for unaccented queries: user should be able to search for unaccented terms and get accented results of page titles, so an article named "Estratégia de atuação" would show up on search results for search queries "estrategia" and "atuacao", for instance.

What I would LIKE (but this is not crucial)


 * Accent-independent search for article content (as well as title)

What I DO NOT NEED at this time:


 * Unaccented results for accented queries
