[Bug] Searching with russian titles is case sensitive and search does not work with some cyrillic characters at all

[booch 32]

I found couple of defects with search using non-latin characters (e.g. russian language)

1) Search is case sensitive for titles with Russian language but case insensitive for English ones

For instance:
If I type "хоббит" in search field - nothing is found, but
if I search for same movie with first uppercase letter, like "Хоббит" - then movie appears in search output.
At the same time I can successfully search for music ignoring case in my music library which has only english titles.

So is it possible to let search for russian titles also work with case insensitive method as it works with latin characters ?

2) Search is not working at all with some cyrillic characters. So far I've found only "й" problematic character, but I have a feeling that it is not the only one.

For instance:
Searching with "Бо" gives me "Бойцовский клуб" as a possible result ("Fight club" in English)
but as soon as I append next correct character "й" ("Бой" together) - then "Бойцовский клуб" variant disappears.

I can continue investigation and find other "bad" ciryllic characters if somebody take this bug and will need assistance

What Server version?  And there are actually several topics and FR on this.

Emby version is 3.0.5934.0

 

I think it should be treated more like a bug than a feature reaqust since not unified search behaviour for different languages and characters which prevents searching at all

By the way

First problem exists also in Plex and Kodi. I guess due to using same library for searching, isn't it?

 

But second one is Emby specific only

Don't know how much has been fixed but the next release has some.
