As per #16, OpenThesaurus now supports transcripted umlauts and 'ss' for 'ß'. Users should be made aware of this new functionality in some way. I suggest an unobtrusive balloon tip that is triggered when the input field gets focus. The balloon could say something like 'Tip: Type ae for ä and ss for ß'. Also, it should have a close button and ideally stay closed for the rest of the session after the user closed it.

This should only be displayed for users that find it useful. Most users are from German-speaking countries and won't need this. Unfortunately it's not possible to detect what kind of keyboard a user has from Javascript, we could only detect the browser language and display this for browsers not configured for German.
