seanrwcrawford Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Currently if I type in "andres" while searching for a contact named "Andrés", the results come back with nothing. It would be great to be able to find contacts with accents within their names, without having to type it specifically. vitor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitor Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I vehemently second this request. Also note that the Contacts app handles this correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanishe Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Alfred Preferences > Features > Contacts > Advanced > [X] Use Spotlight metadata for searching contacts That should do what you want. vitor and seanrwcrawford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanrwcrawford Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Totally does, thanks so much @deanishe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 @deanishe is correct. Unbelievably, the Apple Contacts API doesn't support diacritic insensitive search... so Alfred offers using this which is slightly more reliable when spotlight is acting up, or switching to spotlight which has diacritic insensitive matching.
