Improve Search - Beedjees - 2023-01-20
Actualy when I search a movie or an actor, the search feature is accent sensitive. Is it possible to change this to make accent insensitive ?
Eg : when I search "equipe" the result would include "L'incroyable équipe" and "L'Equipée sauvage"

head start for devs
if talking about doing this in kodi itself it could use something like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58460010/convert-non-ascii-characters-to-english-counterpart-c
but i think it would be better if it was in the global search addon so a python would be https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42205633/replace-language-specific-characters-in-python-with-english-letters#42206067
Quote:Try unidecode:
# coding=utf-8
from unidecode import unidecode
city = "České Budějovice"
print(unidecode(city))
Prints Ceske Budejovice as desired (assuming your post has a typo).
Note: if you're using Python 2.x, you'll need to decode the string before passing it to unidecode, e.g. unidecode(city.decode('utf-8'))

Python 2 is really not an option since Kodi 19.
