Symptom
When searching for names that contain special characters, or accents, the system does not return the expected results if the search term is entered without the special character.
Environment
SAP Sales and Service Cloud V2
Reproducing the Issue
- Search for a name that contains a special character/accent, but enter the search term without the special character.
- Example: Search for "Joao", hoping to get João's contact.
- Check and see that the system returns no contact.
Resolution
As for now, this is designed to accommodate different regions and languages globally. Nevertheless it is possible to access Influence Portal and suggest an improvement in this scenario if this can be changed in order to best serve specific business purposes.
