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.
