User blog comment:Belle pullman/Accents and Umlauts, oh my!/@comment-29014642-20160722170550

Hi! I've just found out what a blog post was and realized that, when you had told me on Tumblr that you had asked about the accent problem, you meant very recently.

So, what I wonder is this: does the search engine here works like Google? Because if so, whether or not you type the accent, you find the page. As a native French speaker, I can't stand to see a French word or name without its accent in a text (it "hurts my eyes" just as much as any spelling error), but for a quick search on Google I don't always bother to type the accents and it makes no difference.

Now, I understand that not everyone has easy access to all the accents (if any), so those who don't could leave out the accents until a person with the right kind of keyboard adds them? (I would be willing to make a post in the comments of which people could ask me to go and add some accents in the page they've just edited. I probably don't have the special letters needed for each of the many languages in which Cats has been adapted, though.)
