All those letters are Latin letters (ö and â having diacritics only used in
some languages). Cyrillic is a whole different alphabet. (Used, for
instance, in Russian). ;)

Please ensure those of us who bother to type Æther only get cards
called Æther and not Aether. I hate it when I take the time to type a
cards name correctly and get no search hits. Ok, I can cope with
getting the ‘wrong’ cards, but at least ensure it works to get the
correct ones.
Ryan RubleyI had the consideration of a standard keyboard with non-diacritic capabilities when doing it up and updating to keep it available for the general users. But anyway since the app is now more or less in its post infancy stage, I'll take up these comments and look at including them in the next update.
I'd really recommend just keeping all the Unicode characters in-tact. All the data from Gatherer is UTF-8 formatted, and converting that to UTF-16 for Java is simple enough. It always kind of bugs me when the diacritics are removed, just because some people don't know how to type them.
Originally posted by Nathaniel Lawrence:Could you elaborate? Did you try pressing the “Search” icon available on the keyboard after typing in your search text? I'll look into it if there's really a problem, because on my devices I've tested, the search doesn't throw any problems to me, though it might be transparent to me.
Is anyone else having issues with the Oracle search from this app not working anymore?

I open the app, get to the main menu. Select “Oracle”. Select “Oracle” again. Type any card name into the box, press enter on my device keyboard. Nothing happens.
I can get there if I go to Advanced Oracle Search, select and enter an appropriate attribute, and search that way, but it's a lot less conducive to quick oracle text lookups, and the Advanced Search tends to crash the app on occasion (especially if I need to make several searches in a row).
Originally posted by Josh Stansfield:Hi Josh, really appreciate you fielding Nathaniel's issue for me during this short period. I'll be rolling out an update ASAP as mentioned to make up for my OCD'ing.
The keyboard should show a little magnifying glass button for “Search” that you need to press (rather than the Enter key). If you're using a device with a physical keyboard, that button probably doesn't exist, so I'm not sure how that would work out. Do you have an onscreen keyboard? Is there a Search button in addition to the Enter button?
Just a thought. Hope this helps!
Gareth PyeNow that's something I didn't know since I've never had the need to use it. Well, you learn something new everyday :D
Every android (on screen) keyboard I've used has access to æ and ë,
you just press and hold the normal character and wait for the pop up
menu to select the interesting one from.

My bad. I'll try to roll out an update for this issue by the end of the week, or next week. In the meanwhile, I'd need you to activate and use the on-screen soft keyboard for this.
Sorry once again.
