Hello All,
Thank you for this great software. I liked it 
I want to use it to search Turkish documents.
When i try a search with keyword like İstanbul it turns no result because of İ.
Is there a solution for this.
Thank you in advance.
Hi ufukayyildiz,
good question, I tried it and instantly I was also not find anything. However I am pretty sure that YaCy is able to process all UTF-8 characters. Therefore I was looking for web pages that actually contain İstanbul as you spell it and I found https://www.istdergi.com/ which I put into my crawler to verify that it is possible to find this page again with the word İstanbul. And it worked!
So - there is no problem with YaCy with such letters. There is simply not enough content to find. Just put in the web pages that you want to be found!
Hi @Orbiter
Thank you so much.
I am trying search pdf files. Could it be related PDF files?
Could you please check the video on the link?

Thanks again.
Are these characters interchangeable?
Eg. I would expect the same results both for İstanbul (with the Turkish İ) and Istanbul (as everyone else would type it outside of Turkey).

Based on my experience they are not interchangeble.
eg try to search for ‘Árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép’ vs ‘Arvizturo tukorfurogep’
The first brings this exact match besides others: https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81rv%C3%ADzt%C5%B1r%C5%91_t%C3%BCk%C3%B6rf%C3%BAr%C3%B3g%C3%A9p but for the other there are 0 results.
Is there any way to change this?
