"bug report" concerning search

[axin]

A user sent me the following mail:

I downloaded your application with the Esperanto-English dictionary.

Very handy, but the search apparently cannot distinguish between alternate letters.  For instance, it can't tell the difference between a c and a ĉ.

That's not a bug but a feature, yes? There is no way to force the search to behave as expected by this user, yes?

Yes, that is a feature, not a bug.  NormationEpo.java let's users search for ĉ, ĥ, ĵ, ĝ, ŝ, ŭ or c, h, j, g, s, u.  Many users do not have an input method editor (IME) to type Esperanto.  Therefore NormationEpo.java let's users type Esperanto on any cell phone.

It is not possible to force the dictionary to only search for ĉ.  It will always search for ĉ and c.

Thanks for clarifying! I'll forward this to the user...
