My Exchange server always finds my friend when I search for "Kivanc" even though the "i" and the "c" are Turkish letters without a dot and with a squiggle respectively.
However, I cannot get it to find my friend Nikolay when I type the whole thing, as it doesn't match the final Cyrillic letter with my "y".
I would say, in general, string matching leaves a lot to be desired, especially when I don't know how to actually type most of the letters of my colleagues's and friends's names. (It's easier on Mac than Windows 10 though - I can't figure out a dang thing for Windows 10 that is not English.)
- lokedhs 6y agoIf your Russian friend's name is Николай, then you might try to type it as "j", "i" or "ij". I only studied Russian for a short while, but й sounds more like "ij".
- SomeHacker44 6y agoVery nice, thank you! Replacing the "backwards N with hacek" (not sure what the letter is called, sorry) with "i", "iy" or "j" all find him. Funny that his preferred romanization with just a "y" doesn't.
