Description and Message

Can you help me get the Search Profile Fields mod work with Swedish characters å ä ö and Å Ä Ö, everything else is working, but I really need this to be working also...

When a profile field has the character Å you cant find it if you use the small character å when searching... but a finds A, b finds B and so on...

So problem is, if you use Å in search field it will find Å but not å... and if you use å it will find å but not Å.

Does the "normal" search still works?

Hi again Oxpus!

I have checked and You are correct, the normal search seems to be the root of the problem NOT your mod.

Example: When I search on your board for the word "ähnlich" (lowercase ä) or "Ähnlich" (UPPERCASE Ä) it results in the same amount of hits (176 hits). It does not matter if I use UPPERCASE Ä or lowercase ä. This is the way I need it.

On my board i created one topic with the word "Ähnlich" (UPPERCASE) and another topic with the word "ähnlich" (lowercase). When I search for "ähnlich" (lowercase) it returns only the topic with lowercase.

I have searched internet for over 6 hours but cannot find the solution anywhere not even on phpbb.com ^d

Oxpus, have you got an idea on how to solve the problem? And again, thank you for being so kind helping me out.

Hm, the search will not differ between upper and lower case words...
Try this:

Code: Alles auswählen

#
#-----[ OPEN ]-----
#
search.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]-----
#
				if (preg_match('#^[\*%]+$#', trim($split_search[$i])) || preg_match('#^[^\*]{1,2}$#', str_replace(array('*', '%'), '', trim($split_search[$i]))))

#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]-----
#
				if (preg_match('#^[\*%]+$#i', trim($split_search[$i])) || preg_match('#^[^\*]{1,2}$#i', str_replace(array('*', '%'), '', trim($split_search[$i]))))

#
#-----[ FIND ]-----
#
			if (preg_match('#^[\*%]+$#', trim($search_author)) || preg_match('#^[^\*]{1,2}$#', str_replace(array('*', '%'), '', trim($search_author))))

#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]-----
#
			if (preg_match('#^[\*%]+$#i', trim($search_author)) || preg_match('#^[^\*]{1,2}$#i', str_replace(array('*', '%'), '', trim($search_author))))

#
#-----[ FIND ]-----
#
			if ( @eregi($search_word, $search_profile_string[$i]) )

#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]-----
#
			if ( @ereg($search_word, $search_profile_string[$i]) )


#
#-----[ SAVE/CLOSE ALL FILES ]-----
#
# EoM

This will ever differ between lower and upper cases!

Hi, and thanks... I have not yet tried the above solution because...

Hm, the search will not differ between upper and lower case words...
Try this:

The search does differ between lower and upper cases. With english characters there is no problem at all. Problem is only with characters outside A-Z, like ä Ä and ö Ö

Should I still try to apply above solution or is there something else that needs to be done (since a - z already works fine).

Did you do something special to make search differ between ä and Ä on your board? Since a native vanilla board does not...

[oxpus]

My latest snippet will was written to differ between EACH lower and upper case!
