accented characters - disappointment

[cwiekol]

I was so exited when I saw
-Added option to ignore accented characters under Tools/Options/Indexing
option.
I've installed new beta version, rebuild my index and...
i'm very disapointed.. still X1 does not recognize my language characters..

in my language (POLISH) characters: e ę E Ę, oóOÓ, aąAĄ, sśSŚ, lłLŁ, zżźZŻŹ, cćCĆ, nńNŃ should means the same for search engine!!!

Could you do something with this ?!?!?!

hi there again,

i've just downloaded new build, reinstall and did reindexing..
Polish user problem is still not resolved.

Please, answer me if you are gonna do something with this or should i look for another search solution (i'm tired in doing almost every of my search double or even triple)
kind regards

Well, just don't install both WDS4 and X1 on your computer... i just did that for a week, and my computer was quite sluggish (ok, old computer--specs as below).

Perhaps you should try it out on your computer, to see if the speed/CPU penalty is acceptable to you...

I'm now actively looking for a program that will index Win'Vista's Windows Mail (the successor to Outlook Express). I'm not crazy about WDS4's dumbed down user interface, but at least it will index my Outlook Express emails...


Lenovo Thinkpad T42, 2 GB RAM, Pentium M 1.7 GHz, Win'XP-Pro SP3, Outlook Express, IE7

Hi cwiekol,

I would like to confirm that you selected (i.e. enabled) the Ignore accents in characters checkbox on the Tools > Options > Indexing screen before you cleared and reindexed your data.

So, while we haven't performed tests directly against Polish characters, we're definitely interested to know if this works for you.

Please let me know if this is not what you did or if you are open to trying this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Greg,
thank you for your answer. I have almost loosed my hope..


I can confirm that i checked Ignore accents in characters checkbox on the Tools > Options > Indexing screen before I reindex.

But to be sure, i will check that tomorrow and then reindex and let you know.

regards
Michal

Hi there again,
i've checked it again. I clear my index, checked Ignore accedent characters and rebuild the index.

I can confirm after some tests. It still doesn't work as it should with any of Polish letters (ąśżźćęółń)

regards
Michal
