[CASL-L] Searching with Diacriticals in EBSCO

[Hansen, Eric A]

Everyone,

>From EBSCO:


Beginning on and after October 1, 2018, searching with diacritics will be enabled for all flagship products, including EBSCO Discovery Service(tm) (EDS), EDS API and EBSCOhost®. With the release of this enhancement, a user will be able to use the appropriate diacritic mark for the specific words in their native language, allowing more precision in search results.
A diacritic is a mark that indicates pronunciation of a word. Sometimes a diacritic indicates a different word in the same language. Examples include:

  *   Campaña (Spanish "campaign") vs. Campana (Spanish "bell")
  *   Höra (Swedish "to listen") vs. Hora (Spanish "hour")
Visit our EBSCO Help<http://go.ebsco.com/P000s0TLHN0Kh00C0XDQA12> to learn more about diacritic search, including instructions for site administrators to disable this feature via EBSCOadmin(tm). If you have any questions, please contact Customer Support<http://go.ebsco.com/wNXQs0TLH0000KAE0012i0C>.
