When creating a tag with an accent, the accent is automatically converted to an un-accented character. Example:

número →

However, the same conversion does not happen when searching for a tag. Instead, when you enter [número] in the search box, it is converted to [nmero]. This should be made to be more consistent.

  • Oh I meant Google. I rarely use the site's own search since it's not as good.

Yeah sure, this sounds like reasonable behavior to match up...starting with the next build we'll do the "normal" character replacement inside tags, rather than stripping it.
