Accent sensitive means that when I query on cafe, in a table like this

select * from TableName where col1='cafe' I will not get rows returned to
the accented version of cafe.

Accent insensitive means that I will.

With SQL FTS, the tokens found in your columns you are full text indexing
are stored as unicode, so a cafe is a different unicode sequence than the
accented version of cafe.

You can select how SQL Server treats accents, but not MSSearch, which is the
engine which does your searching in SQLFTS.

So to be totally correct - SQL FTS is accent sensitive or not accent
insensitive. Thanks for the correction.
