Support locale aware ordering (accents, etc.)

I wanna a way to ignore diacritics when a search a data in object box?

for example I like to find users with name joe, jóe or joé

Query<User> query = userBox.query(
            User_.firstName.equal('joe')
        .build();

// or use operator overloads:
Query<User> query = userBox.query(User_.firstName.equal('Joe'))
        .build();

Thanks for the suggestion. This is currently not possible, you would have to include all variants chained using an OR condition.

Edit: As a workaround, you could add another property that stores the original value with diacritics removed (and mapped to lower case) in whichever way fits your use case.

This was double posted on Stack Overflow, but as this is more a feature request, answering here.

There is a similar issue for the Java library about improving support for UTF-8 characters: https://github.com/objectbox/objectbox-java/issues/46
