Hi,
I'm a Word user, and I'm familiar with the normal way to access symbols and 
international characters unless you're a screen reader user and find that 
function impossible to navigate.  Which I do in the past couple of releases 
of Word.  I also know about the Jaws Insert 4 symbol list, and I know that 
some people have an entire set of keyboard strokes to produce ansi 
characters either memorized or on a list somewhere.

But I don't know what you mean, below.  What kind of search are you 
referring to?  Where do you find the search engine into which you type 
something about international characters?  Please explain more.

thanks,
Daniel
