Steps to reproduce

  1. Create and save note with the text café наёмник (notice the letters with diacritics). Second word is mercenary in Russian, if anyone is interested.
  2. Do a search for cafe.
  3. Do a search for наемник.

Expected result

Search returns the text in the note for steps 2 and 3.

Actual result

Search returns nothing for steps 2 and 3, since doesn’t consider that the letters in question could be interchanged in certain cases. For Russian there’s only one case where letter е could be used instead of ё in certain cases, but I’m not sure what should be done for languages like French with tons of diacritics and occasional French-derived cases in English like café, naïve etc.

Environment

  • Operating system: Windows 10
  • Obsidian version: 0.8.1

Additional information

There’s a feature request concerning this exact behavior but I don’t think it’s a feature, rather it’s a bug.
