If I search for that entry with '(cn=*Belph*)'  I find it.
And  if I  search  for it with  '(cn=*BELPH*)'  I still find it.
Now if I try  to get it through '(cn=*Belphé*)' I get it.
But if I am brash enough to ask '(cn=*BELPHÉ*)' I get nothing.

I other words, case is correctly ignored for plain ascii, i.e. for 26
letters; but for non-ascii letters, such as French accented letters,
which can be capitalized, it doesn't work.

Yes. 2.0 only knows how to fold the ASCII subset of Unicode. 2.1 will have much improved case ignore matching, most of which has been committed to HEAD.

Cheers! Future cheers, I mean. That can make a real difference for us.

 Les canards et les pigeons,

 mettent leurs gouttes de sang
 sous les multiplications;
 et les terribles hurlement des vaches étripées
 emplissent de douleur la vallée
 où l'Hudson s'enivre d'huile.
