Is There A Way To Ignore Letters With Accents When Searching?
-
Another issue I’ve been dealing with is letters with accents. Many times I’ve searched for a name and couldn’t find it. Later on, I realized that it was because the name had an accent. So, I’ve had to painstakingly go through some of the names I have typed in and change the letters.
I want to be able to copy and paste names without worrying about accents, and preferably have the correct spelling of the person’s name if they have accents.

It has been requested before. At present there is a way, but not a convenient way.
To search for a name like
Renéyou can use the following form as a regular expression:
[[=r=]][[=e=]][[=n=]][[=e=]]Yes, it’s a pain in the butt. Maybe someday someone will make a simple switch for it. (Note to self: my still-in-progress Search++ plugin should have that as an option for plain text searches.)
