How can I perform accent-sensitive but case-insensitive utf8 search in mysql? Utf8_bin is case sensitive, and utf8_general_ci is accent insensitive.
There doesn’t seem to be one because case sensitivity is tough to do in Unicode.
There is a
utf8_general_cscollation but it seems to be experimental, and according to this bug report, doesn’t do what it’s expected to when using LIKE.If your data consists of western umlauts only (ie. umlauts that are included in ISO-8859-1), you might be able to collate your search operation to
latin1_german2_cior create a separate search column with it (that specific collation is accent sensitive according to this page;latin1_general_cimight be as well, I don’t know and can’t test right now).
