Hi all,
I am missing an importand part of the old Winsuxx emule client: during search the entered keyword was Unicode- and national character safe, which is not the case with amule.
Right now search for files lists only those hits which have exactly the same substring in the filename. Instead the library alphabet should be used with unicode support, so there would be no difference between o,ö, and Q, for example. When I am searching for "Géza", "Geza" and "GÁ$za" should also be a hit.
Take a look at here:
I've decided to remove the image due to possible conflicts with the rules.
I hope you understand the point. I suppose this would require little effort from the development side and it would improve significantly the search results for non-english users.
Cheers, Albert

Did you compile with unicode enabled? Because we already support unicode on searches.
The hits returned are server-side, so we send the proper string, there should be no difference with eMule.

Just did a quick check with your example, searching for géza also returns hits on geza for me.

Search does make a difference between national characters.
Searching locally for geza: 106 result, including filenames with geza and gÁ$za (Unicode é). Searching locally for géza: 3 result, including filenames with géza. These last 3 were not found at the previous search.
It seems something is not working properly. I will try to recompile as Kry suggested.
