Feature request: Character synonyms in search

SpencerDub opened this issue · comments

Idea: Provide character synonyms in search, so that (for example) typing e in search will also match é, è, ë, and ê.

I'm a stickler for categorizing things accurately, which is why I have an item in my index labeled "Pokémon Games", complete with the é. However, typing that é in search is rather bothersome. It would be lovely if typing "Pokemon" without the accent pulled up "Pokémon Games".

Example: The InstaFilta project incorporates synonyms. I don't know how adaptable their code is, but I figure it's a place to start, right?

Great idea - thanks for posting it here! I'll look into how to incorporate it into Indxd's search (which uses lunrjs right now).
