spongebob Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Hi Forum. in Filemaker 11 I have several records with Name and Surname like this Paul Müller Peter Muller John Müller Simon Mütz If I search for all with surname "Mu" (without the quotes of course), *all* 4 records are found, including those with Umlauts. However if I search for "Muller" it ONLY finds the Muller one. Is that logical? What logic does Filemaker apply here? Should it not find three records if I search for Muller? like this: Müller Muller Müller Any light that may be shed on my darkness is much appreciated. :)
comment Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Two questions: 1. What is the default language set for the field's indexing? 2. In the case of "Müller", what do you get as the result of = Code ( Left ( text ; 3 ) )
spongebob Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 Two questions: 1. What is the default language set for the field's indexing? 2. In the case of "Müller", what do you get as the result of = Code ( Left ( text ; 3 ) ) 1. German (my Filemaker is in Englisch though) 2. I dont have a function called Code... Left ( text ; 3 ) gives as expected "Mul" or "Mül" or "Müt" Im Puzzled. I have another different DB where i found that this actually works as I would anticipate, am now trying to figure out why it doesnt work here... Thanx
comment Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I dont have a function called Code... Are you using version 11 as your profile says? http://www.filemaker.com/11help/html/func_ref3.33.46.html#1051087 See here for a possible suspect: http://fmforums.com/forum/topic/64240-limitations-to-code-and-char/page__p__304655#entry304655
