Description gzernmplatz 2013-03-27 15:58:49 UTC 
Problem description: When I search for "ß" (German name "scharfes s", unicode U+00DF (223), just in case it is not shown correctly), LibreOffice finds both "ß" and "ss". When I search for "ss", it does the same. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use German localisation of LibreOffice
2. Use document (text or spreadsheet) containing ß and ss
3. search for ß or ss

Current behavior: can't distinguish ß and ss in search

Expected behavior: when searching for ß find only ß, when searching for ss find only ss (they are different letters! When checking all ß in an old document to see if they have to be changed according to the German spelling reform, this bug at least triples the work). 

              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.0.1.2 release
