Can't search Arabic words with Arabic diacritics #183

Open anasram opened 8 years ago

anasram commented 8 years ago

When I try to search for a simple Arabic word (a word without Arabic diacritics), It doesn't recognize the matched words if they had diacritics.

As a matter of fact, Arabic diacritics issue is supposed to be treated the way case sensitivity being treated in Latin characters.

Firefox has a good Arabic search support within text and HTML documents that contain diacritics. You can check it e.g on Arabic WikiSource

The algorithm or regex Firefox uses for this might be useful for implementing it here.
