Title: Accented Character Insensitive Search
Post by: esolmaan on May 10, 2024, 20:18:43: I'd like to propose a feature enhancement for the AIMP player. Currently, when searching for songs or artists, the player treats accented characters differently, which can sometimes lead to missed results. For example, searching for "cafe" might not yield results if the song is titled "café".

I suggest implementing a search functionality that is insensitive to accented characters, meaning that variations, for example, of the letter "a" such as "ā", "ă", "å", "ä", "ã", "â", "á", "à", "Ǟ", "ǟ", "Ǡ", "ǡ", "Ǣ", "Ǻ", "ǻ", "ȁ", "Ȃ", and "ȃ" are all recognized as equivalent to "a" during searches.

This enhancement would improve user experience and ensure that users can easily find the songs or artists they're looking for, regardless of how the characters are accented.

AIMP compares the strings using OS API
JFYI
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/stringapiset/nf-stringapiset-comparestringex
LINGUISTIC_IGNOREDIACRITIC

So it's possible to do this using API.

I've waited so many years for this... 🥹
