Hi Felix,
Did not try it separately. If done in one run, no codepage, no latin1,
then index works fine. In my eyes something goes wrong once one leaves
the default (plain ASCI) value.
Yes, you're right, I have made both the UK map and the Baltic map
without those options and the index is much better. It sometimes still
pops up a mapsource error dialog when you type an incomplete name and
press the find button (but, weirdly, doesn't always do that).
So, great, the search index works reliably for cities now. The downside,
of course, is that all of the accented characters have been replaced
with their "dumbed down" versions.
Well the more I played with it, the more it becomes apparent that the
whole process of creating addresses and the index is flawed. Very often
a street will be inside a city that is spelled differently.
