Single single search for "ae"/"e" etc

[burgundy]

It's a nuisance to search for both "encyclopedia" and "encyclopaedia", etc.

Is there is a way to search just once?

Perhaps a setting to select this mode of search would be useful.

[void]

regex:encyclopa?edia

or

regex:encyclop(ae|e)dia

or with Everything 1.5:

encyclop<ae|e>dia

[burgundy]

Then there's "oe" and perhaps others too.

It's that kind of fiddly extra typing which my suggestion was designed to avoid.

[therube]

Depending on your search you might be able to simply omit those fiddly characters & simply include the before and after.

So...

encyclop dia

.
Again, might work, depending on your situation.

Or...

nowfn:encyclop*dia

.
(Can wfn: be disabled, by default, when wildcards are used?)

It is on the to-do list to provide an option to create a personal synonym list or character mapping or whatever one should call it.
(can't find the thread where this was discussed, so maybe it isn't on the to-do list after all)

I guess that will do what you want. My interpretation of it:

Define:
ß => ss
ä => ae

Searching for Fußgänger will find the following:
Fußgänger
Fussgänger
Fußgaenger
Fussgaenger



I can see a lot of potential in that feature as I constantly type 'search' wrong: 'serach'.
(yeah, I know, the irony .. posting on the Everything forum and not able to type serach search )
I would add 'serach' to this list.
