Re: Searching for accented characters.

Thanks Tim. Do you (or someone else) know someway of making the
equivalence class [[=e=]] the default interpretation of an 'e' in the
search string? In other words, although it is great that [[=e=]]
matches all the versions of 'e', it involves typing seven characters
instead of just one.
