Accented characters not captured correctly
The accented characters in author names / article titles are not captured correctly sometimes. It looks like some kind of encoding trouble.
Here's an example page:
http://prd.aps.org/abstract/PRD/v46/i4/p1379_1
Note that name of the first author.
Also a suggestion: it would be very useful to be able to search while ignoring accents. E.g. searching for "a" should match "á" as well. The Windows API call that converts other encodings to ASCII does this (e.g. it converts all of ó, ö, ő to o when doing a UTF16 -> ASCII conversion). Perhaps Firefox has something similar available that you could use?

Ticket created for accent-agnostic searching, though I don't know whether or not this is possible in Firefox. Given that Firefox's built-in search doesn't do it, I suspect not.
This is one of the bibliographic gotchas that would be great to get right, but which a great many systems get wrong.
Even when I search just for 1 author, it is bothersome to have to carry out two searches. More complicated if I combine with other terms.
Thanks!
But until then the only advice is to set up your keyboard for better accent typing (e.g. switching keyboards or using an international layout on Windows) and to fix author on import (which you should do in any case, lest you get wrong bibliographies).
