How do I include special characters in a search?
There may be times when you want to search for words containing characters that are not part of the English alphabet. For example, you may be looking for information on "Captain Röhm" or "Prince von Bülow". To get the ö or ü characters, hold down the Alt key next to the space bar while you type one of the following numbers on the numeric keypad. You won't see anything while you are doing this, but when you have finished, release the Alt key and the character will appear in the search box.
