Search for non-latin characters is case sensitive about search-omnifocus HOT 5 CLOSED

Does it match if you use a transliterated Latin query (poz, I think)?

No

Interesting, for perspectives it works perfectly with different case:

I've looked into this, as I thought it might be a bug in something I'd written.

The reason perspective search works is because the workflow pulls the full list of perspectives from OmniFocus's sqlite database and does the filtering in Python, which understands Cyrillic case.

For other searches, sqlite's own search/filtering features are used, and sqlite doesn't support case-insensitive matching of non-ASCII.

You can filter perspectives in Python because there aren't many of them. Python's performance becomes noticeably slow with between a few hundred and a few thousands items, depending on the complexity of the search. sqlite can handle hundreds of thousands of items with ease.

Just looked into this in the hope that there was a fix but, unfortunately, @deanishe is correct: sqlite doesn't allow case conversion when querying for non-ASCII chars. I can't think of a straightforward fix for this. Sorry @kholodilov...
