Hi
Can Everything ignore Arabic diacritics like windows explorer?

Code: Select all

What about Match diacritics?
Menu: Search > Match diacritics

Unfortunately it has no effect on Arabic names

Hebrew tested. The same thing for Hebrew.

Currently, "Everything" only ignores diacritics between single code points.

I'm working on an option to ignore punctuation for "Everything" 1.5.
This option would ignore combining diacritics.

A related bug on the Mozilla end, Bug 202251 Find/FindAsYouType will not find text if entered with diacritics ("nikud") in Hebrew, or accented characters in other languages.

I think this occurs because the Hebrew diacritics are characters by their own.
You press a key to write a character: א
Then, you press another key to apply the diacritic: אַ
To support this, you need to remove the diacritics characters.
Find of Firefox, still doesn't support this (there is no Match diacritics).

Any news on this option?

Everything 1.5 will ignore combining diacritics.

With match diacritics disabled:
אַ
is treated the same as
א
