Bug ID: 100480
Summary: Inability to search for specific letter
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)

User story
As someone working with gothic fonts I want to be able to search for *exactly*
"long s" (letter ſ) without finding "s" and "ß" in order to be able to quickly
find wrong occurrences of this letter, e.g. at the end of a word.
How to reproduce:
1. Enter following text in an empty document:
"Ich ſelbſt kann daſ Lied, das ich mit Maß ſinge."
Note that there are several "long s", as used in old German texts. Be sure you
have an OpenType font (in order to support this letter, e.g. "Unifraktur
Maguntia" font.)
2. Try to automatically replace wrong occurrences of "ſ" at the end of the
word. Try to enter following into the Search/replace dialog:
Find: "ſ "
Replace: "s "
You may then set the search to be case sensitive.
Expected Result:
- The search finds (and replaces) "ſ " in the fourth word, no more.
Actual Result:
- The search finds "ſ ", "s " and even "ß " and would, if automatically
executed, replace all "ß " with "s ", which is not intended.
I have pondered the help but found no indication that this "automagical"
detection of similar letters can be turned off. Using regular expressions does
not help.
