    How does one person searches strings for characters disregarding special characters? For example, in portuguese we have the word "Àgua" and i need to do 2 things: - Arrange a list of those strings that start with "a", "b", etc, where "à" and "À" should both be considered as "a". - Do some kind of search with the same consideration, that is, someone searching for "agua" should also find "Àgua". Anyone knows?

    Windows is just as secure as Linux. When shielded with a Firewall, Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and disconnected from the Internet.

        No... Haven't found any solution that is even close.

        Windows is just as secure as Linux. When shielded with a Firewall, Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and disconnected from the Internet. Windows has even better performance that Linux. When running without Firewall, Anti-Virus and Anti-Spywayre.
