Movie not found with full title, but found with partial title

When I searched on the website with "bachna ae haseeno", I got no results (it's a bollywood movie). However, the movie "Bachna Ae Haseeno" clearly does exist at https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/15864-bachna-ae-haseeno I could also not find this movie through the xbmc scraper for TheMovieDB, if that helps narrow down the problem a bit.
When I search for either "bachna" or "haseeno", I do get the movie in the results. Searching for "ae" just gives too many results to even check if this movie is among them.
I hope someone can look into this, it seems like an odd problem to occur but maybe it happens with other movies as well.

Hi arucard21,
It's related to this ticket here. I've created a new one for you.
I will take a look at it when I have some time.
Cheers.

Thanks for creating that ticket for me, I only managed to check on this now. But after looking at the tickets you linked, I noticed that i could search for "aeon flux" and find "รon Flux". So i tried searching for "bachna ร haseeno" and then i DID find the movie "Bachna Ae Haseeno". So it seems like the search somehow always sees "ae" as "ร" and I guess something similar must happen with "oe" (as mentioned in the new ticket) and "ล". I hope that information helps in resolving the problem
