#44 Search with Unicode characters not supported

[Bro]

The regular expression in the search 'machinery' didn't accept other characters than US ASCII.
This should be fixed in CVS so that it now accepts Unicode characters.

Is this already fixed in CVS? I just tested it with 3 titles containing Umlaute, and searched for different combinations. It always tolerated ä for an a, which is I think a good thing! (e.g. when I entered "stär", it found entries with "star" and with "stär" in it). I would keep it as it is now.

It's "fixed" in CVS, but I found out that it doesn't work 100% in MySQL because the fields need to be created with UNICODE like this:
"Title TEXT UNICODE" instead of "Title TEXT".
So thats why a is included when searching for ä.

I'm not sure when it comes to MS Access.

HSQL should work 100%.

Ah, I see what you mean. I actually tested it with a MySQL db. but the search did not break or anything, just turned up more results than expected ("star" titles also appeared when filtering for "stär").

As the search does not seem to break, I would probably just reduce priority to 1 or 2 or even close this bug.
