Accent-Insensitive search
The Accent-Insensitive Search feature improves search behavior in your tables by treating accented and non-accented characters as equivalent. This is particularly useful for content in languages that use accents, ensuring users can find entries regardless of whether accents are used in the search term.
What it does
When Accent-Insensitive Search is enabled and lazy loading is disabled, the search function will match accented characters with their non-accented counterparts. For example, searching for "Zurich" will also return results like "Zürich".
When to use
Enable this feature only when lazy loading is disabled.
When lazy loading is enabled, search queries are run directly against the database, which handles accented characters appropriately by default, so this setting is not needed.
