If I go to 'My Bookshelf' | 'My Recipes' . Enter search term 'crepe' Sort by: Recipe Name In My Bookshelf.


Searching does not recognize that 'crepe' is the same as 'crêpe'.  There is a similar problem between 'crêpe' and 'crêpes' i.e. it doesn't recognize that singluar and plural forms should be found identically.

Apologies for the delay in my reply - it took a while for us to sort out what was going on.  The bug on accents is now sorted so whether you search with or without an accent the results will show all words with and without the accent.


Your issue with plurals isn't so easy to fix though we will look into it.  The best thing to do is to always search on singular words so you find both singular and plurals.
