diacritic predicate

[Nicolas Gastaldi]

Hello,

i am brazilian , and its typical to have many accented words in here, so i need to query my db with diacritic option, but when i set my predicate as 

objectsWithPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"Name CONTAINS[cd] '%@'",term];

it says 'NSDiacriticInsensitivePredicateOption not supported for string type' is there any possible workarounds or am i doing something wrong? 

thnx

Hi Nicolas, although Realm doesn't yet support diacritic insensitive queries, Core Foundation comes with a very flexible and robust string transformer called CFStringTransform, which can be used to normalize strings and semantically strip diacritics, among other operations.

You could store a normalized string property for each object you need to search against by applying the "Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII; Any-Lower" ICU transform.

Hi JP,

Will there be support for this in the near future ?

I'm having the same issue when trying to filter by string variable

Email.objectsWhere("self.address like[cd] %@", searchTerm as NSString)

Adding ICU into Realm is on our roadmap, which will enable doing diacritic insensitive queries at runtime (along with more interesting features).

This is currently a low priority however, mostly because it's possible for you to store a diacritic-normalized version of your string in another property by using the CFStringTransform I mentioned earlier in this thread.
