Description
When you enter an unlaut like "Ö" (and a second character to be able to start the search) the search function will also deliver results for the vocal "O". So for the user it is difficult to find files/folders with the umlaut, because he will receive a long list of findings.
Perhaps the behaviour is intented but in this case, we would suggest to change it. So the search result should really follow the input.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the iOS search behavior with “Ö” followed by another character, then inspect the search function responsible for matching results. Done means searches distinguish the umlaut from the plain “O”, or the intended matching behavior is documented if the current result is intentional.
