Games with romaji characters are not searchable with their ascii counterparts #523

Open seanmakesgames opened 8 years ago

seanmakesgames commented 8 years ago

My game's title is ｈａｃｋｍｕｄ​ but I have switched it to 'hackmud' in itch.io because hackmud is not searchable across charsets.

The game's title works in humble quick search and regular search when using ascii: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/search/search/hackmud​

Probably a small set of users that care about this feature / functionality, but sucks a bit for my branding.

hmm interesting, we're using postgres to normalize the search queries. I'll see if there's a language setting I can use to normalize these to ascii. If that doesn't work I can look into setting up search alias on your game's title

Oh, Awesome! :) I'll set the name back for testing.

Ok. It's back up. https://itch.io/search?q=%EF%BD%88%EF%BD%81%EF%BD%83%EF%BD%8B%EF%BD%8D%EF%BD%95%EF%BD%84

works

https://itch.io/search?q=hackmud

does not.

Thanks for the assist, @leafo!

no need to change it back until it's fixed, I can test in my dev environment!
