--- Comment #12 from [email protected] ---
I do not agree that this report is a duplicate to #413842.

Bug #513820 reports that the search is case-insensitive for ASCII characters
but case-sensitive for accented characters. This means accented characters are
treated differently from non-accented ones.

Bug #413842 is a wishlist to make search **accent-insensitive**, so that typing
“Alex” would match “Alex”, “Àlex” and “Álex”. These are different behaviors.

For users, search behavior must be clear and predictable. If a user types
accented characters deliberately, the search should preserve that intent and
not always ignore accents. For example, searching “Àlex” should not return
plain “Alex” results next to "Àlex". 

If possible, support both behaviors with switches:
- **Accent-aware & exact match:** search for the exact pattern with case and
accents (exact ON) 
- **Accent-insensitive & fuzzy:** ignore accents when matching (exact OFF) 
- **Case-sensitive ON / OFF:** respect or ignore case
