First option, & the international way: (Which using by google desktop search & the web engine, MSN both the desktop search & web engine , Almost all Arabic programs): To ignore the different between this characters: أ - ا - إ -آ ه - ة ي - ى The second option: Is to find the exact phrase as written. As i said before, the first option is regular way to search with Arabic. I hope that you can add the to options Or to make the first one is the default.
Also, I forget to maintain that beagle search engine should also ignore: ّ - َ - ً - ُ - ٌ - ِ - ٍ - ~ - ْ These characters are usually used with the main arabic characters.
Beagle is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes in early 2011. Its codebase has been archived (see bug 796735): https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/beagle/commits/master "tracker" is an available alternative. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
