           Summary: Ancient greek accents problem in searches
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

I am a PHP developer trying to use mediawiki for an ancient greek dictionary.
One feature this wictionary should have is the possibility to search for a word
without the input of accents and diacritic letters and retrieve all the
relative words that contain diacritic in search results.

For instance, if I input the green world αλφα (alpha) it shoud retrieve also
ἄλφα (with diacritics), if it is present in article database.
This happens in modern greek wiktionary for words with accents, but it does not
seem to work for ancient greek, cince it has different kind of diacritics.

My question is about the availability of this feature.
In case thhis feature is not available, my need is to have indication about the
best way to implement it.

Paolo
