accented characters #333

Closed pascal-louis closed 3 years ago

pascal-louis commented 4 years ago

Hello,

First of all, congratulations on your excellent program.

However, I have a small problem with the search function. Indeed, as a French user, we use accented characters and unfortunately this can lead to a null result when searching for a word if the accented character is not specified.

For example, let's take the name of the author Abécassis. If I do the search for Abécassis, don't worry, but if I type Abecassis, the result becomes negative . Another problem also, when searching on the first name of an author, the results are always null (it is true that on Calibre, my input mask for the author heading is name, first name).

Is it possible to solve these problems?

Sincerely

Pascal

Yes, the accents and other Unicode characters are still a problem. They were caused by the underlying database, see #206. I'll check if there were new developments since then.

Your second problem should not happen. BBS takes you search string and tries to find a match regardless where it occurs. So, if the first name is part of the name field, it should be found. Except if you do strange things to the author name field in Calibre, like in #339. Then the escape characters could cause the search to fail. Could it be that?

Hello, Thank you for your comments.

Hopefully the problem of accented characters can be solved one day.

Regarding the second problem, my latest tests seem to show that it is no longer relevant.

Sincerely

Pascal
