Problem in search filenames with accentuation. Bug?
Hi,
I'm developing an app to search files on dropbox by api, but when filename is in uppercase and has accentuation no files are found.
The problem occurs when the accentuated character is in uppercase.
eg:
revelação = Found
Revelação = Found
REVELAção = Found
REVELAÇÃO = NOT FOUND
revelaÇÃo = NOT FOUND
I've tested via web and API, the result is the same.
Is there a way to solve this?
Thanks

Can you share the code and output for these search queries? Thanks in advance!
(By the way, note that there is an indexing delay on search, so wait a few minutes before testing a search for any new files.)- marcoszamparoExplorer | Level 3
By Api Explorer the problem is the same: https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_search
Look these images below, on the first, the file TESTE REVELAÇÃO 09.lbm was found and on the second was not.
