Filtering string with accents and without

Questions and Answers Strapi Backend
1

Hi everyone!

In the backend I have entities with field Title and there are strings with accents.

For example - “Pozemní stavby”.

When I’m using [containsi]=“pozemní” it returns me correct respond, but when I am using “pozemni” without accent, it returns nothing.

I need to make search filter work either with accent or without, but it seems this handle Strapi backend itself.

university-programs?&filters[Title][$containsi]=pozemni
vs
university-programs?&filters[Title][$containsi]=pozemní

I’m having the same issue. Anyone has resolved it?

I resolved this case creating a slug in my records. Then when filter, I filter by Title OR slug.
Not the best solution, but worked.
ps: In strapi o slug can have the field hidden
