Description of the bug

I wrote a python script that parses csv files with movie names and tmdb id. When a movie contains punctuation in the title the search fails to find the movie. Same for using the webinterface search

Reproduction steps

  1. search for Léon: The Professional
  2. No movie
  3. delete characters at the end until movie is found
  4. now it's Léon in the search bar

What is the current bug behavior?

Search doesnt find movie if punctuation is included

What is the expected correct behavior?

movie is found iof the full string is copied from the libary

Jellyfin Server version

10.10.0+

If i replace Léon: The Professional with Leon: The Professional it works. So this is a duplicate of #15116
