https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-does-Splunk-parse-german-Umlauts/m-p/366017#M107965 <P>Hi everyone,</P> <P>I've been confronted with the problem, that the case insensitive search command <CODE>search</CODE>, differentiates between ö / Ö, ä / Ä and ü / Ü. My question now is, how does splunk parse the german Umlauts exactly and will it support case insensitivity searches for these characters in the near future?</P> <P>I'm aware of the workaround using <CODE>eval lower() / upper()</CODE>, so this question is not about solving the issue, but trying to understand where the issue really originates from. </P> <P>Thanks in advance and best regards,<BR /> Bojan</P> Wed, 04 Oct 2017 14:36:17 GMT bojanisch 2017-10-04T14:36:17Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-does-Splunk-parse-german-Umlauts/m-p/366017#M107965 <P>Hi everyone,</P> <P>I've been confronted with the problem, that the case insensitive search command <CODE>search</CODE>, differentiates between ö / Ö, ä / Ä and ü / Ü.

I suggest you open a support case to add your voice to getting this addressed.<BR /> Sorry, I don't have a more promising answer for you at this point.
