French characters in search bar

Hi there,

I have a search bar for a gallery of clients' names from a Sharepoint List. Since I am in Montreal, my clients have french characters in their names, but I'd like to be able to search without having to write the exact same way they do.

For example, I'd like to look up "Deschênes" by typing "Deschenes" and vice-versa.

The current formula I have in my gallery's items properties is this :

SortByColumns(Filter([@'LISTE CLIENTS PROFESSIONNELS2']; TextSearchBox1.Text in Text(Title)); "Title"; If(SortDescending1; SortOrder.Descending; SortOrder.Ascending))

Is there a way to modify it to substitute the folowing characters ; é, è, ê, ë, à, ï, ù, ô ?

Much appreciated!!

Hi @WarrenBelz

Thanks! I did, but it gives me an error message too. No results are showing in the gallery and it's asking to revise the formula.

Hi TB-08112305-0

Try the below code 🤞

SortByColumns( Filter( [@'LISTE CLIENTS PROFESSIONNELS2'], TextSearchBox1.Text in Substitute( Substitute( Substitute( Substitute( Substitute( Substitute( Substitute( Substitute( Substitute( Text(Title), "é", "e" ), "è", "e" ), "ê", "e" ), "ë", "e" ), "à", "a" ), "ï", "i" ), "ù", "u" ), "ô", "o" ) ) ), "Title", If(SortDescending1, SortOrder.Descending, SortOrder.Ascending) )

***RECTIFICATION***

The current working formula is :

SortByColumns(Filter([@'LISTE CLIENTS PROFESSIONNELS2']; TextSearchBox1.Text in Text(Title)); "Title"; If(SortDescending1; SortOrder.Descending; SortOrder.Ascending))

Hi TB-08112305-0

Firstly the code

SortByColumns(
   Filter(
      [@'LISTE CLIENTS PROFESSIONNELS2']; 
      TextSearchBox1.Text in 
      Substitute(
         Substitute(
            Substitute(
               Substitute(
                  Text(Title); 
                  Char(233); 
                  "e"
               ); 
               Char(232); 
               "e"
            ); 
            Char(234); 
            "e"
         ); 
         Char(224); 
         "a"
      )
   );
   "Title"; 
   If(
      SortDescending1; 
      SortOrder.Descending; 
      SortOrder.Ascending
   )
);

then the rest of the characters

224	à	230	æ	236	ì	242	ò	249	ù
225	á	231	ç	237	í	243	ó	250	ú
226	â	232	è	238	î	244	ô	251	û
227	ã	233	é	239	ï	245	õ	252	ü
228	ä	234	ê	240	ð	246	ö	253	ý
229	å	235	ë	241	ñ	248	ø
