 * Hi, I just debugged this issue that with events calendar enabled and with woocommerce
   with HPOS enabled, if you search a name like “Anja Müller” on order page, it 
   results into too many redirects and renders an error message. But if we disable
   events calendar, search works fine. Please look into this.
   All Plugins – latest
   versions.Thank you

 * Hi [@softechx7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/softechx7/),
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * To help me investigate this properly, could you let me know which of our plugins
   you’re using?
 * Specifically, are you using:
    - **The Events Calendar (free)** together with **WooCommerce** only?
    - Or are you also using **Event Tickets** and/or **Event Tickets Plus**?
 * Knowing your plugin setup will help me recreate the issue on my end and provide
   the most accurate troubleshooting steps.
 * I look forward to your reply.

 * Hi [@softechx7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/softechx7/),
 * Thanks for your response.
 * Could you please try adding the following snippet using the **Code Snippets**
   plugin and see if it resolves the issue?
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_action( 'plugins_loaded', function () {
       	if ( is_admin() ) {
       		remove_action(
       			'init',
       			[ Tribe__Events__Rewrite::instance(), 'normalize_request_uri_for_non_ascii' ],
       			1
       		);
       	}
       } );
       ```
   
 * As always, **please test this on a staging site first** before applying it to
   your live site.
 * Let me know how it goes, and I’ll be happy to continue investigating if the issue
   persists.

 * Hi Darian, 
   Yes it resolves the issue. Will I need to keep this snippet active
   or will you resolve it in a plugin update?Thank you

 * Hi [@softechx7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/softechx7/),
 * I’m glad to hear the snippet worked!
 * Yes, please keep the snippet in place for the time being while we’re working 
   on a permanent fix in the plugin. We’ll update this thread as soon as the fix
   is released, at which point you can safely remove the workaround.
 * Thank you for your patience!
