Description Denis Jacquerye 2007-03-22 15:16:31 UTC 
The simple engine uses g_ascii_strdown instead g_utf8_strdown.

This means searching for "stuff" will match files "Stuff" and "stuff"
But searching for "école" will only match "école" and not "École".

Searching for "école" should match "École" and any other equivalent unicode string in lowercase such as "école" and "École" with <U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT> (but that's already in Bug 421486).
Comment 1 Denis Jacquerye 2007-03-22 17:40:31 UTC 
See attachment 85122 [details] [review] of Bug 421486 which also normalizes for search.

	(search_thread_data_new), (search_visit_func):
	Normalize unicode search strings and use g_utf8_strdown to
	lowercase them. (#421486/#421512)
