The primitive search feature of Rekordbox 6 drives me crazy. My language contains a lot of diacritics and the current search function can't find anything. It's really annoying. I have no time to type and try multiple search variants when playing live.
Example:
Song name: Mariša Pusu Daj - Kollárovci
I found threads complaining about this dated more than 3 years ago, and still, this simple thing is not fixed.
How hard is it to replace diacritics with its base character variants?
á = a
í = i
š = s
etc...
I am a software developer and If I had the source code I could fix it in 5 minutes... Trust me, it's not rocket science. This really should not take you 3+ years to implement...
Unfortunately the search is exact matching, not fuzzy (ignoring characters, accepting "s" in place of "$", etc.) so my recommendation is to use a metadata manager to dumb things down to unaccented characters or replace special characters with those in the roman alphabet.

I support the Request from the "Post Opener".
-> accepting Wildcards is no Magic
"*" = can be n-sign
"+" = can be a single sign
or something similar ...
nearly every DB can handle this ... your Development switches "=" with "like" the SQL Statemens
how many "select" Statements do you have in your Code that are tied to the SEARCH-BOX ? 1-3 ?
=> this would be a major improvement for UX (user experience)
=> maybe you need 3 PT for this (requirement, implement , test)
=> I can not image for such a simple thing, not to implement it in your next short-Term release
Another Point is:
"mysql convert from ansi to utf-8"
=> 1.5 Million Hints how to to
=> maybe this needs surely bit more effort than 3 PTs
=> but have a look at: AlphaTheta
"to enhance the creative potential of music and enable a world filled with joy".
- I`m sure you don`t need to ask the "Post-Opener" about his joy in this case
- disrespecting the "natural" language in a software is a major downside in UX and there Joy and so on
- software shall make not more "work", it shall support the User
thanks for taking in consideration
