Actual results:

Firefox wasn't able to find Iğdır


Expected results:

It should have find and highlight the word Iğdır

I don't think this is a dupe. The issue as described in comment 0 is that typing "ığdır" doesn't find "Iğdır". This is an issue with language-sensitive case folding, not diacritic folding as in bug 202251.

Not a duplicate, and reproducable in Firefox 28. This needs a fix.

Turkish ı/İ was also a case for CSS text-transform, but it was fixed. (See bug 231162)

[Alex Henrie]

Supporting the Turkish dotted capital İ and dotless small ı is exceptionally difficult because rather than create separate Turkish letters i and I, the Unicode consortium has instead made the uppercase and lowercase mappings for the Latin letters i and I dependent on context. However, I think we can get reasonable language-agnostic behavior by making all four letters i/ı/İ/I case-fold to i. It might be slightly annoying to Turkish users that "i" and "ı" will match each other when case sensitivity is off, but it'll be better than the current situation, and that's already the case in Greek with "σ" and "ς" and no one has complained about it.
