Character Folding Feature? Special Characters Not Found ... #22

Open andre-fuchs opened 4 years ago

This search backend is working pretty well, thanks to everybody involved!

Only special characters like umlauts are excluded from the search, which is especially problematic for names of people. Which of the following ways should be taken to solve this:

A Can or should I specify multiple languages in the language settings?

B How to enable the Whoosh character folding feature? See https://whoosh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/stemming.html#character-folding

C Or is it due to global language settings of Wagtail (UTF-8, USE_I18N = True) ... improbable.
