Search on characters like ö, é, ç

1
Hello, In Mendix, people (or other objects) with special characters in their name, like ö, é or ç won't be found via search fields if you type o, e or c. This is not optimal and also not how search engines like Google work. Of course I can choose to not include those characters in the names, but has anybody found a solution for this issue? I already read something about duplicating those attributes which might contain these characters and remove the diacritics with a Java action. I'm wondering if there are any other options already used by somebody. Thanks for the info, Martin

Maybe global search see https://marketplace.mendix.com/link/component/115019 can provide a solution as this is using lucene as indexing engine and with the correct analyzer for the language in your app this seems to be possible (might need to chenge the java code used though)
