Recommended Posts

so here's my problem.. i'm trying to search a large database that contains words like jalapeno, but the n in jalapeno has a ntilde, like jalapeño.. but it would make since when someone searches for jalapeno it should also find all the words that have the html entity as well.. so i am currently doing a sql select like..

 

select * from tbl where REPLACE(col, 'ñ', 'n') like '%jalapeno%';

 

is there a way to do this similar kind of thing with full-text searches?
