Hi,
I am working on a App in French so there are various characters with accents (éèàû..). I have a search box set up to filter a gallery. I would like the search results to return words with accents even if the person types it in the search box without, e.g. if they search "Petrochimie" and the name in the gallery is "Pétrochimie" the result is still returned, is this possible?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi @MadAusi
You would put the formula where the text is that you're using to search, it wraps around your search text. So something like this:
Search(
Table/CollectionName
,Subsitute Formula with Search Text
,Table/Collection Column to search in
)
Hope that helps
Hello,

Waiting for an Help

Thanks YoelG, this workaround helped me a lot. I work in Brazilian Portuguese, so here is my pt-BR version.
Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(TextInput.Text;"À";"A");"Â";"A");"Á";"A");"Ç";"C");"È";"E");"É";"E");"Ê";"E");"É";"E");"Î";"I");"Í";"I");"Ô";"O");"Ó";"O");"Ù";"U");"Û";"U");"Ú";"U");"à";"a");"â";"a");"á";"a");"ã";"a");"ç";"c");"è";"e");"é";"e");"ê";"e");"é";"e");"î";"i");"í";"i");"ô";"o");"ó";"o");"õ";"o");"ù";"u");"û";"u");"ú";"u")
Chapeau bas !

Wow, what a formula! Thanks for doing all the hard work! I'm also working in French so that will be really useful.
I finally found a workaround ! 🙂
I created a formula to Substitute all the accented letters.
Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(YOURLABEL.Text;"À";"A");"Â";"A");"Ä";"A");"Ç";"C");"È";"E");"É";"E");"Ê";"E");"Ë";"E");"Î";"I");"Ï";"I");"Ô";"O");"Ö";"O");"Ù";"U");"Û";"U");"Ü";"U");"à";"a");"â";"a");"ä";"a");"ç";"c");"è";"e");"é";"e");"ê";"e");"ë";"e");"î";"i");"ï";"i");"ô";"o");"ö";"o");"ù";"u");"û";"u");"ü";"u")
In my case, I just needed these letters, as I'm working in French, but, I found a list with all the existing accents, so you can edit the formula according to it if necessary :
nonaccentarray = Array("A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "C", "E", "E", "E", "E", "I", "I", "I", "I", "I", "N", "O", "O", "O", "O", "O", "U", "U", "U", "U", "Y", "a", "a", "a", "a", "a", "a", "c", "e", "e", "e", "e", "I", "I", "I", "I", "o", "n", "o", "o", "o", "o", "o", "o", "u", "u", "u", "u", "y", "y")
accentarray = Array("À", "Á", "Â", "Ã", "Ä", "Å", "Ç", "È", "É", "Ê", "Ë", "Ì", "Í", "Î", "Ï", "Ï", "Ñ", "Ò", "Ó", "Ô", "Õ", "Ö", "Ù", "Ú", "Û", "Ü", "Ý", "à", "á", "â", "ã", "ä", "å", "ç", "è", "é", "ê", "ë", "ì", "í", "î", "ï", "ð", "ñ", "ò", "ó", "ó", "ô", "õ", "ö", "ù", "ú", "û", "ü", "ý", "ÿ")
I guess that it's a "hard" workaround, but it works like a charm by my side (and it's fast !). So it should be fine until someone finds something better.
Hope it will help you !
Hi,
Still no news on this point ?
I'm trying to find a workaround for several days now, but for now I only found a headache...
Any experts to find us a trick ? Please
Many thanks
Hi Yumia,
I think you didn't get what the question is here.
I would be very interrested in a solution to this problem too.
In essence, this is what we are looking to achieve:
Search for: resume
Returned results: résumé, resume, etc
Hi @HFG
You can also use the formula expression as this
Filter(datasource, Textinput.Text in ColumnName)
If you input the letter in the words "Petrochimie", for example if you input "imie", all the words which contains these letters will be display.
More information:
Best Regards.

Hi @v-yuxima-msft,
My formula is as follows: Search(colProj,TxtNomProj_SaisieProj.Text,"TXT_Libelle").
The search is working, but I would like to know if when I type a word without an accent whether in the results I can also have items with accents? Eg. Item in gallery is "Pétrochimie" if I search "Petrochimie" is there a way I can I have this item show up or can only exact matches be returned?
Thanks
