Improving string search for accented characters

Good morning,

Currently when filtering and searching in string columns, the filter is not case sensitive but it is accent sensitive. As a french speaking organization, we deal with a lot of accents. It would be nice to have the option to disable accent sensitivity. (default behavior in excel or google sheet for example).

For example, when looking for the contacts named Frédéric, we currently have to search for Frédéric. If we search for Frederic it wont return anything. Since it often happens that accents are forgotten, it would be very useful if there was an option for the search to return Frédéric and Frederic when you search for Frederic.

Cheers,

Edouard

Hello @Edouard, we have an existing issue for making search accent-insensitive in the Database Builder: Make search accent-insensitive · Issue #5411 · baserow/baserow · GitHub :slightly_smiling_face:
