Allow armour to be searched with "armor"

[xbon]

since it isn't in my native english to write armour when I ctrl + f I always end up having to re-search for armour, I was wondering if it'd be not too much trouble to maybe add an armor tag that lets them be searched that way as well?

I've learned to just search for "armo". Try it out! I believe it doesn't turn up any false positives.

If this were to be fixed, I think a broader solution would be better, such as the game interpreting "o" as a match for "ou" in all cases, in the event the user needs to search for favou?r, splendou?r, colou?r, or odou?r.

yeah, I end up usually stopping myself and just typing armo; if possible it would be insanely convenient if o was treated as both o and ou for search cases.

i tried to implement the op's suggestion, but it turned out to be surprisingly hard, so i gave up. Patches Welcome

PleasingFungus: Wouldn't it be easier for players to learn correct English, rather than us fixing their spelling deficiencies?

I know that's a joke, but... how does search work in crawl's internationalization? en-us and en-gb and en-au are generally considered different localizations.

Many computers don't consider "armour" to be the correct spelling, in fact as I'm typing this there is a red line underneath the word telling me its not spelled properly. I still spell it armour though because to me that makes more sense in terms of pronunciation.

dpeg: If you can show us a single, universally accepted spelling of the word "armour", then maybe your comment here wouldn't sound so rude.

poor dpeg. misses every joke, has all of his own jokes missed

I'm sure nobody will miss that particular joke.

Added in trunk. Note that Ctrl-F dragon armor still doesn't work, because we're only translating the slot annotation ("{body armor}" "{gloves armor}" etc.), and not the item's actual name.

neil: but you could do "dragon && armor"?

Yes, but that will also give you hides.

[TeshiAlair]

I have actually switched to using armour in all cases in life thanks to this game.

I though Sar made a joke (that no one would miss dpeg's joke if it were gone). But maybe I missed the joke. The joke has many layers, like an ogre.
