Fuzzy Search not working with German umlauts

Stefan Pointecker

Hi,

I have search index (language german) with multiple text fields on a table with around 20,000 entries.

In my endpoint I implemented "search by query". Unfortunately if I am trying to search for strings with umlauts like "Universität" (= university) no results show up.
It is working with other search terms although.

Also those query is pretty slow, I thought that fuzzy search would be quicker than "common" where conditions?

Should I get in contact with support?

Most users get results in a few hundred ms. It is very fast.

Send in a support request with more details.

looks like this is a bug. accented characters get stripped out of the search query. A fix will be deployed in this week's release.
