Find-in-page doesn't use locale collation
Last modified: 2018-03-26 15:33:30 UTC
Find-in-page still doesn't use locale collation, so if you search for "foo" it will match a substring like "föö" even though those are distinct letters in the locale.

Why no comments? This bug is still showing.
I'd say this is intended. Do you have a specific case where it breaks navigation or utility of search?
I agree this is desired behavior, at least for the Dutch locale. Perhaps this should be made locale dependent?
No specific case, I can see how current behaviour is useful for English and perhaps Dutch, but it does not make sense in any locale where o and ö are distinct letters of the alphabet. That would be obvious since it could match a completely wrong word. Just need to use a locale aware version of strcoll. Anyhow, this proposed locale-sensitive behaviour is standard everywhere else like in any gtk+ application and in Firefox.
This is a mass NEEDINFO of all Epiphany bugs with no activity in the past three years. I'm going to be automatically closing old bugs to help us focus on current problems. If you feel this bug is still relevant with Epiphany 3.26 or newer, then please leave any comment here so that I know not to close this one.
I can reproduce on 3.28.

Thanks for taking the time to report this. This issue is most likely a bug in WebKit. Please report the bug to https://bugs.webkit.org/ including a link to this bug report and noting the version of WebKitGTK+ that you have installed. When reporting the WebKit bug, be sure to include the prefix '[GTK]' in the bug summary and select the 'WebKit Gtk' component. Since locale collation is something that developers are not likely to be familiar with, when reporting the WebKit bug please also provide some basic information about the expected behavior and how this issue might be fixed.
