Search while ignoring special characters
Once !88 (merged) will be merged, coBib will preserve special characters (for example Umlaute) inside the author
field by default.
This will directly impact the search capabilities:
- it will be improved in the sense that one does not need to search with the escape LaTeX sequence
- but it still requires a precise search
Since coBib already has the means to replace special Unicode characters with an approximated ASCII character (which can be used during the generation of default labels) this would be a nice feature to support during searching. This is not quite fuzzy search yet (which would fix this need possibly altogether) but is a small enough detail that could be supported directly rather than in plugin form (which is what I currently envision for the fuzzy search).
