Hello,
A little request here,
Can the search bar take accents please?
For example if I write: “Chateau” I would like to see “Château” in the results list
(a = â) , (à =a), (é =e) , (è = e) , (ê =e) etc…
Thank you

Hello do you have any news about this topic please? Thank you
@Phenix what’s happening now when you type words with accent ? and what Datasource are you using ?
Hello @artur ,
I use Airtable as a datasource and when I or my users write “Hotel” or “Chateau” in the search bar there are no results because the original name is “Hôtel” or “Château”
Since my initial message I made a small automation in Airtable that applies a replace on {Name} when an entry is added and puts it in a field {Search} that I use in the “Search by” of Softr
But I admit to hope for native support of accents by Softr ^^
Thank you
Hello, Happy New Year,
Do you have any news about this topic please?
I saw another problem for me
Example: I want to search for a project on March 30, 2025,
I tried to:
30/03 → no results
30-03 → no results
03/30 → no results
03-30 → I found it!
we are French and we use a system as follows: Day/Month/Year
and “/” is always used
How can I improve the search please ?
Thank you

“For your first question, unfortunately, the search bar does not recognize letters with accents as similar to the letters without accents. So if you have a letter with an accent in your text, the user will need to input the word with the accent in the search bar too.
For your second question, we use the ISO format yyyy-MM-dd, which is why 03-30 works, as it is in mm-dd format. Unfortunately, this is done to have a unified supported formatting and avoid confusion between different date formats, and it cannot be changed.”
1700$ / Year but can’t search a word because he got accents, im sorry but for me it’s a joke
