Vimperator searching / hinting diacritics issue

2

I wanna ask if is there any way to search/hint in vimperator without diacritics sensitivity. E.g. search for 'skola' and match 'škola'. It's really annyoing to constantly switch between english/czech keyboard.

Thanks for your answers.

The only way to reach that is with regular expressions (i think). This might help you.

http://wiki.vimperator-labs.googlecode.com/hg/VimperatorFAQ.wiki :

== Can I use regular expressions to search? == As per :help pattern.html, Firefox does not provide native regular expression support for searching, so Vimperator will probably never do this natively. That being said, there is an extension to add it that meshes well with Vimperator. Here are the steps to enable regular expression searching:

  1. Install the /Find Bar/ extension from http://www.oxymoronical.com/web/firefox/FindBarRX
  2. Restart Firefox.
  3. Get the regular find bar. On the Mac this is Apple-f, other places iCtrl-f (the i means "pass next key through to Firefox").
  4. Check the regular expression box, and close the find bar.
  5. The setting will stick, so that searching with / will use regular expressions. Don't forget to escape characters like '/' and '.'.

NB: The {{{/Find Bar/}}} extension is no longer actively developed. There has been at least one case of it causing Firefox to crash on startup. ''Caveat emptor''.
