When I search for a user/department/group in Japanese, are characters with a voiced/half-voiced sound mark distinguished?
When a user is searched for in the "Search All Contents", "Search in App", or "Search in Space" search box of kintone, or on the "Departments & Users" page of Users & system administration, characters with a voiced sound mark (゛) or a half-voiced sound mark (゜) are not distinguished from characters without a sound mark.
Example:
-
When you try to find a user whose name is "はひふへほ":
- Search with the word "はひふへほ": The user is found
- Search with the word "ばびぶべぼ": The user is found
- Search with the word "ぱぴぷぺぽ": The user is found
-
When you try to find a user whose name is "ばびぶべぼ" or "ぱぴぷぺぽ":
- Search with the word "はひふへほ": The user is found
- Search with the word "ばびぶべぼ": The user is found
- Search with the word "ぱぴぷぺぽ": The user is found
If the pronunciation for a user is specified as "スズキ" with half-width Katakana characters containing both voiced sound mark and half-voiced sound mark, the user will be found only when you specify the name exactly with half-width Katakana characters containing voiced sound mark and half-voiced sound mark. You cannot find the user when performing a search with full-width Katakana and full-width Hiragana characters.
If you want to use full-width Katakana and full-width Hiragana characters to search for and find the user, you need to specify the pronunciation for the user with full-width characters.
The following section provides some examples of search words and results when you try to find a specific user.
