Title, Text and Remarks field use FTS search (MATCH operator) - hence no problem. (But only when SIW=off).
So to summarize, MATCH is used for the Title/Text/Remarks fields if SIW=0. For all other combinations of field and siw, LIKE is used. The MATCH properly differentiates between accented and plain chars, while LIKE does not. Is that right?
Alex, I think that's fine for now. The first priority was to be able to enter the accented characters properly and that's working very well now. For searching, the examples I've used are just test cases. In practice, I would never be searching for just an individual character like that. When used as part of a normal word search, I think it will work just fine in 99% of the cases. A comment in the help is enough to explain why it is the way it is. You can then suggest using just Text and Title with SIW=0 if this is a problem.

But this happens only for the first char, so it looks a bit odd ('DDD' --> 'dDD'). Also, I've had a few times when an uppercase letter did not get converted to lowercase, I think more often if the right Shift was used (this has nothing to do with accented letters). This does not happen consistently though, but I haven't pinned down the conditions yet.
Unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce this issue. If you can sometimes reproduce it, perhaps you could record a log file? This would help to track this down.
If focus is already in the search box, typing 'DDDD' puts 'DDDD' in the search box. If focus is not in the search box, typing 'DDDD' moves the focus, puts 'DDDD' in the search box and then pops the first letter to lowercase 'dDDD'. This is a minor cosmetic issue. I mention it only in case there is some side effect.
