What is the character set and collation of your database?

mysql> show variables like 'character_set%';
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name            | Value                      |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+

| character_set_connection | utf8                       |
| character_set_database   | utf8                       |
| character_set_filesystem | binary                     |

character_set_database latin1
character_set_filesystem binary
character_set_results latin1
character_set_server latin1

After converting data in UTF8 case insensitive search work fine.
But in search results founded words (non latin characters) is not highlighted. For latin characters all ok.
This is a bug?

How can i make case insensitive search with redmine installation on windows server?

Actions #10

Updated by Alex A almost 13 years ago

I have the same problem for postgresql, and i solve it by patching file search_controller.rb.
I`v add this

like_tokens = @tokens.collect {|w| "%#{Unicode::downcase(w)}%" } 
r, c = s.singularize.camelcase.constantize.search(like_tokens, projects_to_search, 

instead of
r, c = s.singularize.camelcase.constantize.search(@tokes, projects_to_search, 

For working you must install gem package unicode (gem install unicode) and add in the top of file search_controller.rb

require 'unicode'

Hello,

can i try to reopen it?

I want to admit that the issue contains in version 2.4.6. It can be fixed in lib/plugins/acts_as_searchable/lib/acts_as_searchable.rb by adding mb_chars:

tokens_conditions = [sql, * (tokens.collect {|w| "%#{w.mb_chars.downcase}%"} * token_clauses.size).sort]
Redmine version 2.4.6.stable.13231
Ruby version 1.9.2-p290 (2011-07-09) [x86_64-linux]
Rails version 3.2.19

Too old.

Hi, Toshi,

ruby version does not matter in the case because String#downcase is working only with ASCII symbols at latest ruby version too:

 downcase → new_str

Returns a copy of str with all uppercase letters replaced with their lowercase counterparts.
The operation is locale insensitive—only characters “A” to “Z” are affected. 
Note: case replacement is effective only in ASCII region.

"hEllO".downcase   #=> "hello" 

See ruby 2.1 String#downcase if you please.

I see. But, case sensitivity depends heavily on Ruby version and DB adapter.
We cannot test on such too old Ruby version.
See http://www.redmine.org/builds/index.html .

OK, so if I understand you right when I start to use a shiny new ruby version you will fix it? If it is I move my production to new ruby version next week and come back, OK? :)
