Feature #780
add library search for accented and other special characters
0%
Description
Use case: the search term "pajaro" will result in a song "Pajaro.mp3" be found in a library search, but not "Pájaro.mp3". Maybe that could be done? Some music players allow search like that. Also for example with "facade" finding a song "façade.mp3".

Is there a standard way of doing this in Unicode and/or a library available that would help with it? I wouldn't particularly like to be maintaining a huge character-equivalence table in Audacious.

Search works fine with Clementine (based on Qt). I did a quick check of its code. It uses a 3rd party library for utf8:

Search may or may not be from one of the functions in this folder, which is not a library but potentially could yield some ideas:

Not sure if the above would be helpful though. :-)
