Created attachment 8964 Patch with the fix When the text in the search box contains a character with a diacritic, the application list is empty even if there should be some matching entries. For example, xfce4-accessibility-settings.desktop is named 'Ułatwienia dostępu' in Polish. If I type 'dost' in the search box, the results include that app. If I type 'dostę', the list of results becomes empty.
Andre Miranda referenced this bugreport in commit f55f2f9a21c2ab44512cb8a515c10230775ad301 Use casefolded string when searching for apps not commands (Bug #15893) https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-appfinder/commit?id=f55f2f9a21c2ab44512cb8a515c10230775ad301
The proposed patch would revert this commit: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-appfinder/commit/?id=034dcf4 And possibly interfere with the fuzzy logic: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-appfinder/commit/?id=486a9ae I hope the fix above is a good compromise between fuzzy searching commands and search apps with utf-8 characters regardless of its case but keep the fuzziness.
