Search performed on an "accent-sensitive" item

"Renée" will find the record,
"Renee" will not find the record.

Configuring the different search options for an item

To manage the accented characters during the searches, use ..AccentuationSensitive.
To manage the case during the searches, use ..CaseSensitive.
To manage the punctuation during the searches, use ..PunctuationSensitive.

Limits

..AccentuationSensitive must not be used on a Numeric item or on a composite key. Otherwise, an incorrect result may be returned.
