Description Dovydas 2005-12-09 22:15:43 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I have a lot of songs with tags beeing in several languages. Not all my songs are perfectly tagged. Tags of the same artist are written in different ways. I have tags with artist name "Stephane Pompougnac" and with the same artist name written in french "Stéphane Pompougnac". If in the search field I start to type "Ste", I get results with "Stephane Pompougnac" only. If I start typing "Sté", I get results with "Stéphane Pompougnac" tags only.

I want that search for "Ste" would match both "Stephane Pompougnac" and "Stéphane Pompougnac".

And another example. I have songs with tags artist name spelled in english "Boris Grebenshchikov" and other tags with the same artist name in cyrillic "Борис Гребенщиков". I want to start typing "Boris" and I want both tags to match - "Boris Grebenshchikov" and "Борис Гребенщиков". If I type "Bjork", I want "Bjork" and "Björk" to be matched.

I want amaroK to match other "e" variants like ę, ė, е (cyrillic), э, é as well. For o I want to match ô, ö, о (cyrillic), ø and so on. I think it would be very useful for many of us.
