Hi all,

I'm using ferret 11.4 together with acts_as_ferret and I've indexed the
geonames.org country files. These files contain worldwide locations in
UTF-8 with all their different spellings each.

Model definition is like this:

class location
  acts_as_ferret  :fields => {:location_names => {}}, :single_index =>
true
  ...
end

The instance method location_names returns a string containing all the
different, UTF-8 coded spellings for this location.


Problem:

Sometimes the search is case sensitive and sometimes not. E.g. it finds
"stuttgart" and "Stuttgart". It finds "München" but does NOT find
"münchen". It only finds "Überlingen" and not "überlingen".

My feeling is that for locations with "special characters" it behaves
case sensitive...

My goal is not to be case sensitive.

Thanks for your help,

Starburger
