[SOLVED] Customer Info Center not Recognizing Accents

Post by jason123 »

Selected 'Customer >> Customer Information Center'. When I typed in 'Tefé', nothing appears, but when I remove the 'é' and just type 'Tef', I get various customers with 'Tefé' in the name.

Why does OTRS not search the accents? Is this not possible to configure?

Thanks

Hi,
there should be a parameter like:
CustomerUserSearchFields => [ 'login', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'customer_id', 'phone', 'mobile' ],
set within your /opt/otrs/Kernel/Config.pm file ... may you check?

Also ... what is the charset used by your db? you may check it from the web console
Admin > System Administration - Support Data Collector ... and check for the Database configuration

HTH
OTRS 6.0.x on CentOS 7.x with MariaDB 10.2.x database connected to an Active Directory for Agents and Customers.
ITSM and FAQ modules installed.

Hi Giulio,

The database formatting was the issue, it is formatted to SQL_ASCII and should be UTF8.

Thanks for you help,
Jason
