ALT chars not found in search

[mikeo]

Can't find anything in manual or on forums on this topic - if the info is there,
can someone point me to it?

I can't get the PlecoDict Pinyin search to find characters whose u is umlauted (e.g., nu3 in nu hai zi; fa lu, lu guan, etc.). When I enter the unlauted u using the on-screen keyboard and the ALT key, it isn't found, and there appears to be no other way. Is this a defect in the current version or am I just missing something? If a defect, is there a workaround? If no workaround, is it related to the non-Unicode character encoding? If no workaround, is it due to be addressed in next version?

Anyway, great product, use it every day!

Thanks

for ü umlaut, type a v.

Thanks, Sandra, works like a charm. Is it in the doc?

You know? I don't know. It's a trick that works for more than just PD.
