The Turkish I Problem

[ecehanece]

Hello there,

First, this is great work 👍 And I'm using selectize in my project. But when I try to search in select box with the Türkish letter " İ " it's not working.

For example; I have a city named İzmir. And when i try to search with the letters "i", "ı", or "I" it's fine. But with "İ" it's not working.

And I have changed the var DIACRITICS variable in selectize.js to this for İ . [i, ı, I, İ] : [iÌÍÎÏìíîïIİı]

But that isn't working. Is there a solution?

By the way, for the other letters like ö, ü, ş, ç or ğ it's working. Just for İ it's not working.

I think it's better to file this in https://github.com/brianreavis/sifter.js, since that's the library that handles this. Also, a test-case reproducing the issue are a good start. That way it's easier for others to help out.

I'd suggest closing this issue and reopening within Sifter along with a failing test.

Hi.

I have that same problem. Any solution?

Quick and dirty workaround: Sifter has asciifold() function. This function can be used to replace the search string in the first place, then passed to the sifter.search, like "sifter.search(asciifold(mysearchtext), ...)". This solves the problem.
