Description Faisal Menawer 2014-04-07 08:40:23 UTC 
the problem:
If a file contains any Arabic word with kashida e.g (الرحمـــن) and then I searched for the same word without the kashida (الرحمن). It will return nothing.
For more info about kashida:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashida

Current behavior:
The search result will be empty.

Expected behavior:
Had the option to ignore kashida in the search.
