Currently, "Everything" only ignores diacritics between single code points.

I'm working on an option to ignore punctuation for "Everything" 1.5.
This option would ignore combining diacritics.

I think this occurs because the Hebrew diacritics are characters by their own.
You press a key to write a character: א
Then, you press another key to apply the diacritic: אַ
To support this, you need to remove the diacritics characters.
Find of Firefox, still doesn't support this (there is no Match diacritics).

Any news on this option?

Everything 1.5 will ignore combining diacritics.

With match diacritics disabled:
אַ
is treated the same as
א

If you would like to try this now, please check out the Everything 1.5 alpha
(English only at the moment)
