[Accounts] Case and character sensitive search bar

[JBMaurice]

There is an issue with the Search bar in Canvas which is case / character sensitive (and it should not). It's particularly important for languages that use various accents.

For example, if I search for "démo" in French, it will find the courses including this word, but it will not find those spelled "demo" without an accent on the "e" and vice versa.

The search bar should react the same way as any browser search bar and display all results whether there is an accent or not.

Thanks for sharing this feedback, @JBMaurice . Where in Canvas are you performing the search?

Hi @JBMaurice,

Just wanted to follow up on this idea. Are you still experiencing an issue when searching in Canvas? If so, can you provide more information on where you are performing the search?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. We have this issue in the search bar in Courses in the Admin tab.

Please see captures of the word "controle" and "contrôle" for example. We don't get the same results because of the accent on the "o" .
