Beginning on and after October 1, 2018, searching with diacritics will be enabled for all flagship products, including EBSCO Discovery Service™ (EDS), EDS API and EBSCOhost®. With the release of this enhancement, a user will be able to use the appropriate diacritic mark for the specific words in their native language, allowing more precision in search results.
A diacritic is a mark that indicates pronunciation of a word. Sometimes a diacritic indicates a different word in the same language. Examples include:
- Campaña (Spanish “campaign”) vs. Campana (Spanish “bell”)
- Höra (Swedish “to listen”) vs. Hora (Spanish “hour”)
