Description Dotan Cohen 2008-08-18 22:19:42 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

As modern Hebrew does not have the J sound, when transliterating non-Hebrew names we sometimes use the G (ג) letter with an apostrophe. For instance, the name Jarred could be written as either "ג'רד" or "גרד". Therefore, as either way could be written (even inconsistently by the same person), Korganizer should ignore the apostrophe in searches. A search on "ג'רד" should match both "ג'רד" and "גרד", and a search on "גרד" should also match both "ג'רד" and "גרד". Thanks.

Note that some other characters should be ignored in searches as well, such as the Hebrew vowel points. When a contact is named "דוֹתָן" then a search for "דותן" should turn him up as well.
