search term:はな (flower or person's name, in hiragana)
❌matches 1:バナナ (banana, in katakana with two additional small strokes at right top corner)
❌matches 2:ハナ (hana, in katakana)
❌matches 3:パナマ (Panama, the country, in katakana with additional circle at right top corner)
❌matches 4:ばな (bana, in hiragana)
🟢matches 5:はな (the target, in hiragana)
I had checked Search Modifiers and Searching to try whole word (rid of #1 and #3, but not their variants), enable case sensitive (does nothing)...etc, but nothing solved the problem
below only helped when the search term is purely in hiragana or katakana but strokes variations results still show up. when search term has both hiragana and katakana, then I get many completely unrelated results
using
Code: Select all
regex:[\p{Hiragana}]
regex:[\p{Katakana}]
