           Summary: filter should match entries with umlauts, accents and
                    similar letters
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux

I have some contacts with foreign accents or letters in their names or address
that do not exist in my language (German). Still I have them correctly saved in
my addressbook, because I copied and pasted that into my addressbook. But
sometimes I have problems to find these entries, because I I do not have those
signs on my keybord or I do not remember exactly what accent exactly it was.
Therefor I would suggest that the filter of addressbook (may be not only
addressbook, perphaps if it does not exist there (have not tested) also in
Nepomuk) should be more tolerant and match umlauts, accents and similar letters
with their conterpart in the basic alphabet:
e.g
e=é è ê 
a=ä á à â æ å 
n=ñ
o=ó ô ò ø ö 
i=í ì î 
u=ü ú ù û
s=ß

There are surely more examples.
