Support for accent letter 'o' with tilde
posted by mgruberSTAFFMOD on October 16, 2013 at 5:46 PM
In general, support for accents are pretty good in queries inside TMDB. But I noticed that the 'õ' character (ie. 'o + ~') is treated differently than the unaccented 'o'. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1) Switch to Portuguese language 2) Query for 'Dragoes' 3) No match is found 4) Query for 'Dragao' 5) Many movie matches containing 'Dragão' are returned
The expected behavior is that the 'dragoes' query returns the same results as the 'dragões' query, exactly as seen in the 'dragao' / 'dragão' case.
Keep the good work! Thanks

Hi mgruber,
That's actually this issue.
It will be getting looked at in a few weeks.
