Domain search is too restrictive, shouldn't be accent/modifier-sensitive #702

Open imnasnainaec opened 3 years ago

imnasnainaec commented 3 years ago

It's not case sensitive, but it is accent sensitive (in Spanish, "limite" doesn't work for "Límite"--the accent is required over the i). For multi-word domain, the whole phrase is needed, so neither "universe" nor "creation" suffices to find "universe, creation"--neither "language" nor "thought" brings up "Language And Thought".

The search is primarily done by the numeric semantic domain id, so this isn't high priority.

Alternatively/Additionally, we may want to show suggestions as the user types.

If we find that there is a strong use case for domain searching we can create a new issue with the user felt need as the starting requirements.

A user trying to search for domain 2.6.5.1: Man in Arabic used "رجل" rather than "رجُل" and was surprised that nothing came up. Now we have reason to strip off accents/modifiers in the search.
