Option for accent-insensitive search #406

Closed mateusbraga closed 2 years ago

mateusbraga commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I write my notes in Portuguese, which has accents ('não' is the word for 'no'). When searching, I don't usually care about differentiating substrings with and without accents.

Describe the solution you'd like Have the option to do accent-insensitive searches. Potentially a way to set that as the default for the quick search bar.

Describe alternatives you've considered none so far

Additional context Searching for 'nao' gives me a different set of results than searching by 'não'.

Would it make sens to ignore all diacritics for all languages? In German in some cases ignoring the distinction of diacritics ä/a and ö/o could make searches annoying. (Searching for “Droge” would return results for “dröge”.)

I still think that accent-insensitive search makes good sense, but perhaps the solution has to be more complex. Not sure if there are good solutions to this already. I reckon this is a very common problem.

I imagined this as an option or preference config. There are cases where being specific is desired.
