accent sensitive feature for Searchable

Postby andrednasoftware » Wed Nov 28, 2012 7:12 am

Hi,

Is there a way to put a boolean property in Searchable, like caseSensitive, but to do a accentSensitive true/false search.
So, if the property is true, a search like "são" will only match itens with "são" and a search like "sao" only match "sao", but
if the property is set to false the search for "são" match "sao" and "são" and a search like "sao" match both "são" and "sao".

This is a very common feature used for search in languages like portuguese.

Thanks.

Please override Searchable#compare(Object, String) to achieve your goal. Since Collator will have to be used, we are not able to provide this function without breaking the backward compatibility. Hence, we will leave this work to our customers.
