can't search for words with special chars

[marcusg]

hey guys,

i ran into a problem when i tried to search words with special characters like german umlauts (Ä, Ü and so on). I can't imagine that it is an intextank issue or is it? I hope you can help! thanks

i found out that i cant search for words with umlauts BUT not with wildcards. Look here:

w = Wishlist.find 8
w.description

"Gewürze aus Indien gewuerze"
Wishlist.search_tank "gewürze"
[Wishlist id: 8, user_i.] # works!
Wishlist.search_tank "gewürz*"
[] # works not!

any idea why? i wrote an email to the indextank guys, but maybe it's an issue of tanker.

Ok, i tried with the original indextank gem and it the same: I can't search for words with umlauts :( So I'll write to the indextank devs...
