**The new catalogue interface now handles accented and non-accented
characters interchangeably for all character sets, all languages. This
means that we can now recommend it as a good choice for searching for
material in the Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Slavic,
Baltic, Turkic, and Finno-Ugric scripts. If a user enters either an
accented or unaccented version of any word, they will retrieve all
instances of the word in the catalogue, both accented and unaccented.*
(*As we've discussed, the new catalogue interface previously handled
accented and non-accented characters interchangeably for the Latin-1
character set only, which meant that it was fine for searching in west
European languages, but did not retrieve complete results for accented
words in the languages above).
