[Developers] Looking for Beyonce

[Jim Weaver]

Arthur,
 
Fancy seeing you on this mailing list!  If you haven't seen this Freebase Browser written in JavaFX Script, I thought you might appreciate it:  http://jmentor.com/JavaFX/JFXfreebaseBrowser.jnlp
 
You probably know that JavaFX Script requires JRE 1.5 or later.
 
Thanks, and *you* have fun!

Subject: [Developers] Looking for Beyonce



Hi,

 

Most users are used to searching for Beyonce (without the accent) and finding Beyoncé.

 

{

  "query":[{

    "id":null,

    "name":null,

    "name~=":"Beyonce",

    "type":"/music/artist"

  }]

}

 

But this query does not return any results. Any suggestion on how to search while ignoring accented characters? 

 

Have fun,

 

    Arthur
