I want to emphasise that current search is broken and a wastes time a huge time waster. I likely wasted days trying to figure out how I lost notes, when in fact search was just broken.
Do you see the difference between “ü” and “ü”?
The reason you can’t is the reason current search is broken. It violates user expectations - hence, broken.
Well, when you use the standard features on MacOS and long press u you get ü.

When you copy from wikipedia you get ü (u + diaresis)

@Obsidian - this has an easy fix. Make diacritics insensitive search the default and provide an option to disable if it adds value to some users. This is an easy fix in terms of both product and engineering and ignoring to ackwnolege how bad the current behavior is not acceptable.
