allow searches without need for accent/characters on letters

For example: was searching for George Müller on Vyrso, on my ipad to download my collection. Could not figure out how to type an "ü" (umlaut u), and When I typed "George Muller", my library suggestions went blank. not sure where all that happens (French accents?), but could something be coded so that we can get "george muller" to work for "George Müller" type searches?

Use <alt+252> for the "u" with umlaut.

Thanks, but I'm talking about my ipad, George. at least, I don't see "alt" on my ipad keyboard. is that possible? I can make the umlaut on my laptop (where I wrote this post), but not on my ipad. at least, I don't know how, yet.

Use <alt+252> for the "u" with umlaut.

If you had a Mac, running Lion, you could just hold down the u (ü). [:P]

Since I don't have an ipad, I don't know either.

That is quite a disadvantage.

Hi Dan,

if you hold down a letter on the keypad on the iPad or iPhone, like 'u' for example, then you will get a range of accents for that letter...

But I agree with the original premise that to be able to search with just english characters would be good

Hope that helps

I know. One keystroke instead of 3. Sheesh.

I'll take the 3 keystrokes, thank you. At least I know that I won't get an umlaut simply because I held down the key too long.

I think that still stands, too. Don't know how many people will always remember the ü in the name, and just think "DANG, I THOUGHT I had a book by this guy . . . ."

George, for me it is alt+0252. alt+252 does something else ⁿ

Correct. I forgot to include the "0."

Oops. I guess that is Four keystrokes. [:P]

Actually, you won't get the umlaut unless you tell it to. You hold the key for 2 seconds and the option pops up. Come on. Admit it. There has to be at least ONE thing you are willing to concede to Mac. [:O]

Just in case you decide to change your mind about your "nice" comment, I have proof: [:D]

not sure about where you went to gradeschool, but I am counting FIVE strokes.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/353994#Comment_353994

I am counting FIVE strokes.

I counted "alt" & "0" as 1 keystroke. I am talented. [:P]

OK. Just don't bury it in the ground—you know what happens then. [:P]
