Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue
  • I will be providing steps how to reproduce the bug (in most cases this will also mean uploading a demo budget file)

What happened?

Environment overview:
I use Actual Server v24.5.0, accessed over web and over Electron desktop app v24.5.0.

Accounts overview:
I have over 10 different accounts. Some are connected/bank synced, some are local only.
I use a mixture of Latin and Cyrillic words within payee, notes and category fields.

Issue description:
When I am in Account view and I try to search for a specific entry, search displays no entries when search using Cyrillic symbols, and displays the expected ones when searching using Latin symbols.

Exhibit A: Account Overview (a mixture of Latin and Cyrillic letters can be seen correctly):

Exhibit B: Seach using Latin symbols (works as expected):

Exhibit C: Search using Cyrillic symbols (shows no result, although there are some results that should match):
image

Exhibit D: I checked if there are issues with different payees in the Payees node. Seach using Cyrillic symbols in Payees node works fine for the very same payee that could not be found in Account node:

Additional details:
The same behavior can be observed in any type of account, no matter if it is synced or local.
The same behavior can be observed on both the web and desktop versions.

Since you might not even have a Cyrillic-keyboard layout, here is a couple of payees I am currently using:
Еконт
Икеа
Шел

If there is anything else I can cooperate with or provide additional info, please let me know.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Microsoft Edge, Desktop App (Electron)

Operating System

Windows 11

The root cause for both issues is this: https://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q18

The default configuration of SQLite only supports case-insensitive comparisons of ASCII characters.

To solve this, we need to overload the built-in NOCASE collating sequence and the built-in like(), upper(), and lower() functions.

Happy to take this one.
