I've decided to treat this the same way as accent-insensitive search, meaning that the default will be as relaxed as possible: case-insensitive, accent-insensitive, and transliterated. I've finished the implementation (including updated tests) and now only need to check for regressions, then merge into master. Here's the updated README: For text values, the default search without explicit flags is very tolerant, meaning that it ignores quite a few differences between search term and value. The default search: - transliterates any foreign script in search term and values to Latin before comparison, thus finding 江 when searching for Jiang and vice-versa - is case-insensitive - is accent-insensitive Case and accent differences get removed after the optional transliteration. Spaces between words always matter. This behavior can be modified by giving additional, optional flags after the search value: 'case-insensitive' - force case-insensitive search (available for the sake of consistency and just in case, should the default ever change) 'case-sensitive' - force case-sensitive search 'accent-insensitive', 'accent-sensitive' - same for accents 'transliteration' - force transliteration, i.e. explicitly choose the current default 'no-transliteration' - disable transliteration -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
