Diacritical Mark

I had difficulty finding Minnie Minoso during a draft.
The issue seems to be a diacritical mark. If you search with the diacritical mark, draft player search does not find the player. Remove the diacritical mark, and the draft player search finds the player.
With Minnie Minoso, you had to use the diacritical mark.

Thanks for tracking this down.
The draft search treats accented letters as different letters, so a player is only found if you type his name with exactly the accents we have on file. That's why Miñoso needed the ñ and other names failed when you added one.
The player cards search already ignores accents, and we'll make the draft room, season player and free agent searches work the same way. Then "Minoso" and "Miñoso" will both find him. Until the fix is out, typing just "Min" with the Chicago or Cleveland team filter should bring him up.
