For example: if we search for the word: "orgánico" we should also present the results that contains the word: "organico" . So the search for words with accented letters shall also return the same words without accented letters: Accented letters are: á : a é : e í : i ó : o ú : u ñ : n Would it be possible to implement this ?

This would be a fine performance (and maybe would take only one hour instead of two
