Thread Tags Question

Is there a FAQ or style guide on tagging threads correctly?
Main thing I'm wondering about is anglicisation of non-English words, such as Fuhrerbunker as opposed to Führerbunker, would a tag using a plain u show up on a search for a Germanic ü?

Fascianting stuff I'm sure you'll agree...

Only very basic coverage of tags in the FAQ I'm afraid.

Just tested it and it seems that it is sensitive to umlauts etc.
A tag search using ü will not reveal results with a u - and vice-versa

The normal text search doesn't seem to interrogate the tags. Though that may be down to some option or other. I'll check.

Perhaps better to use anglicised versions which might make the searches easier for most, rather than fumbling with remembering keyboard shortcuts.
However an auto-complete box pops up after three letters have been typed, so it may not matter as people can then just click that.

Hope that helps a bit.

Thanks and yes it does help, I'll stick to anglicised and, I assume, English terms rather than foreign (eg: Nuremburg rather than Nürnberg). Tags are a very interesting feature so it'd be a shame to get them wrong.

cheers,
