Searching in user database without diacritics

Hey, I believe It would be beneficial if the search feature for the member database could handle queries without diacritics. For example, if I search for “Josef Sedláček,” FabMan should also return results for “Josef Sedlacek,” which lacks the diacritical marks. Members sometimes sign up without diacritics, so the database includes the names with and without diacritics.

One way to achieve this could be by stripping diacritics from both the search query and the database entries in the background. This way, admins can find the desired information regardless of whether they include diacritics in their search terms.

I think this enhancement would make FabMan more user-friendly for admins when searching for a specific member, and also for API searching.

Hey @Jan_Vejtasa,

thank you for that suggestion! Today we’ve released an update that makes all our text searches diacritic-agnostic.

Give it a try and let me know what you think.
