Description Denis Jacquerye 2007-03-21 15:10:19 UTC 
When searching for text on a webpage precomposed characters are not found/search as their equivalent characters in Unicode.

Example: 
- a page has "école" that's with <U+00E9 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE>.
- search for "é" <U+0065 LATIN SMALL LETTER E;U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT>

Result, "école" is not a match yet "é" should match "é"
Comment 1 Denis Jacquerye 2007-03-21 17:24:19 UTC 
opened https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374795 since the find function is in mozilla code.
Comment 2 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2009-10-13 20:06:44 UTC 
Is this still relevant with the Webkit backend?
Comment 3 Denis Jacquerye 2009-10-13 20:25:53 UTC 
This was fixed in Webkit.
