Improve Student Search Consistency When Names Contain Special Characters
Student Search should handle special characters (such as hyphens, apostrophes, commas, and accent marks) consistently across all name‑based searches. Currently, results can vary depending on how a name is entered and where special characters appear, which may make it harder for users to locate students. This enhancement would improve search consistency and usability by making results more predictable when special characters are present.

Characters over letters are not recognized in Aeries when searching (even in fuzzy search), they are actually seen as blanks. Therefore, when searching a name ie; Sanchez, the name with the character (Sànchez) Will not appear in the search results. Same thing happens when searching for prior enrollments for returning students. It can be managed during the enrollment process by removing them, but parents do like the diacritics if they are using them. I am suggesting Aeries consider including them, or ignore them but the letter remains.
