# normalized

A predicate that indicates you’ve preprocessed the strings to compare.

## Declaration

```swift
static var normalized: NSComparisonPredicate.Options { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This option supersedes NSCaseInsensitivePredicateOption and NSDiacriticInsensitivePredicateOption, and is a performance optimization option. You represent this option in a predicate format string using a [n] following a string operation (for example, "WXYZlan" matches[n] ".lan").
