Kendo UI combo box search special character

[Arun]

Hi,

I have an entry in my Knedo UI comboBox as 'Aré John'  While searching, if i use 'are' search is not working. Is there any way to search diacritics in Kendo Ui combo box or any work around to search above criteria. appreciate your help on this

 

$("#EmpList").kendoComboBox({
        placeholder: "search",
        dataTextField: "EName",
        dataValueField: "EID",
        dataSource: mdpList,
        filter: "contains",
        autoBind: true,
        minLength: 2,
        highlightFirst: true,
        change: onValueChange,
    });

Hi Arun,

The default filter in Kendo ComboBox is comparing strings. If you type 'Aré' the 'Aré John' should be present in the results, but it is not expected to have the same result if you type 'e' as it has a different Unicode. If you need a different behavior you could prevent the default of the ComboBox filtering event and filter the dataSource manually.
