Re: Trouble with Search string! (uppercase/lowercase)

[jojo@buchonline.net]

Hi list,

i have make some items with different uppercase and lowercase string and
i have test the effect with mv_case. There are some results:

1) Some item has a string like "JOACHIM" (one item) or "joachim" (2
items) and mv_case is no or 0!
Search for joachim -> SUCCESS! 3 items found!

2) item has a string like "JOACHIM" or "joachim" and mv_case is yes or
1!
Search for JOACHIM -> SUCCESS! 1 item found!

Another test with "MÜLLER" 

1) Some item has a string like "MÜLLER" (one item) or "müller" (2
items) and mv_case is no or 0!
Search for müller -> SUCCESS! 3 items found!

2) item has a string like "MÜLLER" or "müller" and mv_case is yes or
1!
Search for MÜLLER -> FAILURE!

3)item has a string like "MÜLLER" or "müller" and mv_case is yes or
1!
Search for LLER -> FAILURE!

It seems me, MV hase trouble with german umlaut. Am i right?
How can i solve this trouble. It is very important to solve this,
because we are a german bookstore and a lot of words has a german
umlaut.

I have had another trouble with german umlaut and creating new user
account. I have solve this, because my little mental capability of perl
was good to find the part of the code and to change this. But where is
the part of the MV code to patch the search string?

I will be very glad and very grateful, if you give me any tips, hints
or suggestions.

Thanks!

Joachim
