Postgres search ignores case but not accents:
manutencaomisses "Manutenção",aguamisses "água". Whenunaccentextension callable,db.ILIKEanddb.SearchRelevanceOrdernow wrap both sides inunaccent(). Detected at startup by callingunaccent('a'), so extension outsidesearch_pathcounts as missing. Without extension, or on MySQL/SQLite: no change. Vikunja never runsCREATE EXTENSIONitself.CI:
postgresjob enablesunaccent,paradedbjob stays without, so both paths covered. Postgres paths not verified locally, only via CI.Saved-filter
ILIKEfix from issue already on main (3744b6a). Follow-up, out of scope: filterlikeoperator still case-sensitive on Postgres.Resolves #4131
How to verify
CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;in its database, then restart Vikunja. The startup log shows "unaccent extension detected, search is accent-insensitive".manutencaoandaguain the quick-add/search bar.Before this PR: neither is found.
DROP EXTENSION unaccent;) and restart. The same searches find nothing, and search otherwise behaves as before.
