Accent insensitive search text

[dzapata14]

Hi everyone,

I write you because I don´t find any option to do accent insensitive search, Is possible to make an accent insensitive search? If a do a search in a spanish text I get differents results if I type the word with accent and without accent.

Regards!!!

@dzapata14, it works for me. Are you using this on mergely.com, or did you integrate it into your own application?

Hi @wickedest, thanks for your help

I am using mergely in my own application. This is how I initialize:

$("#objeto").mergely({ width: 90, height: 60, cmsettings: { mode: "text/html", readOnly: true, lineNumbers: true, lineWrapping: true }, sidebar: false , ignorews: true , ignorecase: true , viewport: true , sidebar: false });

In the following link you can see the results.

mergely.docx

If I search the word constitución I got several results, but I search the word constitucion I only got one result.

I am using Mergely Version: 3.4.0

What do you think It is missing?

Regards!!!

On https://editor.mergely.com, it works for me - try it yourself. I'd look into your character encoding. You want utf-8 everywhere. your web pages, the content you are rendering, your DB, etc.

Hi @wickedest, thanks for your help

I am doing the test online but It doesn work, If i search the word constitucion only got results in lines 2 and 3, not match with line 1. What options allows me that match with line 1.

Regards!!!

Ah, I completely misread what you were asking. I thought you were saying that it was accent insensitive. There's no way to enable that out of the box.

Ok @wickedest, I appreciate your help, Do you think this functionality can be developed in the future?

[wickedest]

I doubt I'd get to it, not for a long time anyway. I labeled in enhancement and Hacktoberfest. Maybe someone's eager for a new T-shirt.

Also added feature to https://editor.mergely.com

Hi @wickedest, thanks for your help,

I am testing online but It doesnt work. I am searching the word constitucion and I activated the "ignored accented characters" but I got the words constitucion and constitucionalidad, but the word constitución is not int result.

Regards!!!!

And again, I got it wrong. All of those "Ignore" options are for the diff, which confused me. Clearly, you want the "search" feature to be case insensitive. You were clear the whole time. Anyway, that's a problem - most of the search feature comes directly from CodeMirror search and searchcursor, and they don't seem to have that option. It'd be a good feature to add. I created a ticket there: https://github.com/codemirror/CodeMirror/issues/6448.
