GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 657714
[contact search] Should be smarter when searching accented chars
Last modified: 2011-08-30 15:18:44 UTC
Empathy's live search code has some magic (empathy_live_search_strip_utf8_string) allowing you to find a contact called "Frédéric" by typing only "Frederic". The Shell should do the same.
