I want to make for example "Hello" give me the results of "hello"

Believe it or not, this is already how it works by default

Standard searches are case insensitive for Latin characters - a-z will match A-Z, and vice versa. Other characters such as Cyrillic are case sensitive in a standard search, but can be made case insensitive by searching on a word boundary or regular expression (w:, re:).

Well, it didn't work with Ü

nc:uber
matches notes with “uber”, “über”, “Über” and so on.

So "uber" matches with those things? Well, again, tedious to always remember to not write Über the right way, is there no option to make it automatic? Seems pretty english-only centered if not

You can use nc: and write the search term the correct way.

nc: makes characters like u U ü Ü equivalent. Or the spanish ones with the accents. Or the n with ~. Or Japanese characters with the dots (はぱば)
