GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 327671
Search for unaccented characters should find equivalent accented ones
Last modified: 2006-06-21 05:41:06 UTC
For example, I have an artist in my database, "Télépopmusik". Typing this name without accented characters ("Telepopmusik") doesn't return tracks by this artist. Why I think this is a good idea: for anybody not using a dead-keys layout and/or not speaking an accented latin language, figuring out how to type the accented characters is a pain. A search for the unaccented characters should be able to find the accented ones as well.
Moving to the User Interface component.
Fixed, thanks to Marin's excellent fuzzy searching/culture aware patch (bug #333893)
