◆ LINGUISTICS_WORD_SEPARATORS_ASCII

#define LINGUISTICS_WORD_SEPARATORS_ASCII " -/()'`"

char* linguistics_casefold ( const char * in )

Compare two strings, trying to replace special characters (e.g. umlauts) in first string with plain letters.

Parameters

s1	First string to process, for example, an item name from the map. Will be linguistics_casefold()ed before comparison.
s2	Second string to process, usually user supplied search string. Should be linguistics_casefold()ed before calling this function.
mode	set to composition of linguistics_cmp_mode flags to have s1 linguistics_expand_special()ed, allow matches shorter than whole s1, or
let	matches start from any word boundary within s1

char* linguistics_expand_special	(	const char *	str,
		int	mode
	)

Replace special characters in string (e.g. umlauts) with plain letters. This is useful e.g. to canonicalize a string for comparison.

Parameters

str	string to process
mode	Replacement mode. 0=do nothing, 1=replace with single UTF character, 2=replace with multiple letters if the commonly used replacement has multitple letter (e.g. a-umlaut -> ae)
