It is well possible that "canon" can retrieve "cañon" in a Spanish spelling checker, it is only a one- letter subsitituion. - We are dealing with identifiers, and assuming precise matching up to the precision a human reader familiar with the script is able to handle. In this respect, discussions about unprecise searches are irrelevant. Regards, Martin.
