Re: Re: [mb-users] Can't reach artist Dødheimsgard through search

[Bastiaan Van Eeckhoudt]

I just tested searching for 'ø' and 'o', and these searches give the
exact same result. Also searching for "The Døørs" returns "The Doors".
So I think my explanation is correct. The ø is being mapped to o, and
it's not finding anything with an actual ø.
