Distinct words with distinct meanings, sure. But when a naïve (naive? ☺) person or one without the easy ability to enter characters with diacritics searches for "cote", I want to return possible matches containing any of your 4 examples. It's slightly fuzzier if they search for "coté", in which case they may mean "coté" or they might mean be unable to figure out how to add a hat and want to type "côté". Though I'd rather get more results, even if it has some that only match fuzzily. Circumflexually-circumspectly-yers, -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
