I'm using the jquery.highlight plugin: http://code.google.com/p/gce-empire/source/browse/trunk/jquery.highlight.js?r=2
I'm using it to highlight search results.
The problem is that if I search something like "café" it won't highlight any words.
And if I search "cafe", even though my results contains both "cafe" & "café", it will only highlight "cafe".
So, I would need to highlight all "versions" of the words, with or without diacritics.
Is that possible?

Test HTML:
<div id="wrapper-accent-sensitive"> <p>cafe</p> <p>asdf</p> <p>café</p> </div> <hr /> <div id="wrapper-not-accent-sensitive">> <p>cafe</p> <p>asdf</p> <p>café</p> </div>
Test CSS:
.yellow { background-color: #ffff00; }
Replacement Javascript:
jQuery.fn.highlight = function (words, options) {
var accentedForms = {
'c': 'ç',
'e': 'é'
};
var settings = { className: 'highlight', element: 'span', caseSensitive: false, wordsOnly: false, accentInsensitive: false };
jQuery.extend(settings, options);
if (settings.accentInsensitive) {
for (var s in accentedForms) {
words = words.replace(s, '[' + s + accentedForms[s] + ']');
}
}
if (words.constructor === String) {
words = [words];
}
var flag = settings.caseSensitive ? "" : "i";
var pattern = "(" + words.join("|") + ")";
if (settings.wordsOnly) {
pattern = "\\b" + pattern + "\\b";
}
var re = new RegExp(pattern, flag);
return this.each(function () {
jQuery.highlight(this, re, settings.element, settings.className);
});
};
Test code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#wrapper-accent-sensitive").highlight("cafe", { className: 'yellow' });
$("#wrapper-not-accent-sensitive").highlight("cafe", { className: 'yellow', accentInsensitive: true });
});
