            Bug ID: 136230
           Summary: search functionality for special characters is too bad
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

Regarding search functionality from insert special characters>more characters.
Searching by using the names of characters often gives no result. There seem to
be no pattern, just keep trying by changing the font and it will give results
randomly sometimes.

Chances of getting results increases, I feel from my experience but not sure,
if before writing the name of character the default font is toggled to any
other.

My few observations below [for a fresh doc everytime, my default is noto sans
but it should occur with others too just try a few combinations randomly for
search terms 'check' or 'ballot x' or any, also try by toggling font prior to
writing the search term]:

search 'check' with Noto sans as default [no result] > change noto sans to
opensymbol [no result] > select opensymbol again [success]

change default noto sans to opensymbol first > search 'check' [success] >
change opensymbol to Padauk [success] > change Padauk to opensymbol again [no
result] > select opensymbol again [success]

change default noto sans to Padauk first > search 'check' [no result] > change
Padauk to opensymbol [no result] > change to Padauk again [success]
