some times windows have \u200b in title make it not searchable

[cornradio]

can we have a filter version of _getAllTitles ,that remove all \u200b?
some time when i search about "Microsoft Edge"

there is an edge but have a wired \u200b in it , thus can't get the window!
like this ：
"xxx - Microsoft\u200b Edge"

        if isWindowVisible(hWnd):
            length = getWindowTextLength(hWnd)
            buff = ctypes.create_unicode_buffer(length + 1)
            getWindowText(hWnd, buff, length + 1)
            titles.append((hWnd, buff.value))
        return True
    enumWindows(enumWindowsProc(foreach_window), 0)

    return titles

    """Returns a list of Window objects that substring match ``title`` in their title text."""
    hWndsAndTitles = _getAllTitles()
    windowObjs = []
    for hWnd, winTitle in hWndsAndTitles:
        if title.upper() in winTitle.upper(): # do a case-insensitive match
            windowObjs.append(Win32Window(hWnd))
    return windowObjs

i got a work around but not so sure >.. wil it work?

def getWindowsWithTitleFiltered(title,filtstr):
    """Returns a list of Window objects that substring match ``title`` in their title text.
    filtstr = \u200b etc.
    """
    hWndsAndTitles = _getAllTitles()
    windowObjs = []
    for hWnd, winTitle in hWndsAndTitles:
        winTitle = winTitle.replace(filtstr,'')
        if title.upper() in winTitle.upper(): # do a case-insensitive match
            windowObjs.append(Win32Window(hWnd))
    return windowObjs

This is a problem with edge putting this in their title, not a problem of the program, and should therefore be handled by the user.
