Special Character Support

NavSearch offers support for special characters, such as umlauted characters (i.e. ä, ö, ü, etc.).  

NavSearch will convert HTML codes for these special characters i.e. (ä), (ö) (ü) into the appropriate symbol during the indexing process, so that the user can search directly for words and phrases that contain these special symbols.  The search results will also display the corresponding symbol in the search results page.

The list of special characters supported by NavSearch is contained in the file localsearch.sym, and can be edited to suit your particular needs.

By customizing the translation tables in these two files, NavSearch offers full support for any language.
