This bug is about how diacritics appear in the search results, not about how
they're handled while performing the search(bug 27055).
Search results in devanagari show the diacritic on the last entered alphabet
separate from it and having no base alphabet in the search results. Example: A
search for भारत shows some results for भारतीय as भारत ीय with भारत bold and ीय
not bold. Similarly this applies to other diacritics. Entering भारती shows
भारतीय correctly with भारती bold and य not bold. Ideally, this is also how
search results for भारत should look. Whether or not the ी over त is bold isn't
much relevant(ideally it shouldn't be, but it won't hurt much even if it is
bold but displays correctly).
A related issue (not sure if this should be a separate bug) is the display of
characters just following the input string in the search results in cases where
the input string ends with ् (halant/viram). The characters should appear
joined instead of appearing separate. For example: A search for प्रस् ताव (with
no space in between and प्रस् in bold.) Ideally this should appear joined as
प्रस्ताव with प्रस्ता in bold.
Also note that this issue might be present with other indic languages as well.
