    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      We have an issue here with confluence that prevent us to adopt it fully in our company .

      In the French language, we use accents, such as é,à,é,etc.. and we need Confluence to ignore those accents for searchs, like google does.

      For instance the search text: "majore", should give us pages with "majoré" or "majore" or "majorè"

      It would be very useful if we could configure the search feature to be able to ignore accents.

      Languages that should ignore accents for searches are:

      • English (for loanwords, and also cover other European languages not supported in Confluence indexing)
      • French
      • Spanish
      • Catalan (not supported in Confluence indexing)
      • Portuguese (currently only Brazilian Portuguese is supported in Confluence indexing)

            Hi tombirch, thanks for your feedback. It would be great to have some more details so we fully understand the problem. Can you provide us with an example of a Danish search query, and what you expect from the search results ?

            I have been studying Norwegian for a little while, so I am very much interested in applying what I have learnt so far to Confluence search.

            Thanks !

            Please, for Danish language do not allow danish letters æ,ø,å / Æ,Ø,Å to be treated as accents. It messes up our search results.
