Re: [Tracker] Can Tracker ignore diacritics when indexing and searching ?

[Ivan Frade <ivan frade nokia com>]

Hi Constantin,

 It should be almost trivial, but now we are quite busy fixing bugs and
thinking in new DB schemas to do the things better and faster. 

 Please open a bug in bugzilla.gnome.org. We can even tag it as
"gnome-love".

 Thanks for your feedback,

Ivan Frade
