Missing feature: managing accented letters in searches

[paolobenve]

Actual and Expected behaviour

when searching in pdf document, atril considers accented letters different from non-accented ones.

E.g., in spanish, if I have "comercialización" (with accent) in the document and I search for "comercializacion" (sin accent), nothing is found. And vice-versa.

Sometimes a text could miss an accent, and it's is a minor error in a text, not easily detected. In order to make a good search the user should make a different search for all the variant of his search string, with and without accents.

English language hasn't this problem, but many other languages has it.

The correct way to manage that would be either:

• introduce a new flag for accents in the search bottom line, like the flag for case sensitive/insensitive

or

• make the search always accent insensitive
