How are foreign accents handled in Eigen's Political & Historical Quotations?

Questions & Answers About Eigen's Collection of Political & ...
Generally, they are not. Searching becomes very complicated as it is not clear whether searching for an accented word will find the unaccented version and visa versa. For the most part we have eliminated foreign accents. So first search for the unaccented versions of a name or other word. If that is not found, try the accented version as a last resort. Sometimes.

How are Accents handled in What's in a Name?

Frequently Asked Questions for What's in a Name
Accents [i.e. diacritical marks] in the basic ASCII set, such as è, é, etc, are treated as their unaccented equivalents when searching the records. This means, for instance, that Andre and André are treated as the same name. Where different languages use different accents within this set [e.g. Felix (English) and Félix (French)], one record is held but a note is made of the accenting differences. Keying either version will lead to the same entry.
