--- Comment #1 from aristsakas <aristsakas at gmail.com> ---
We propose implementing a search function that is insensitive to accents and
diacritics, especially useful for languages ​​like Spanish and Portuguese. This
feature would allow users to find words within a document regardless of whether
they are written with or without accents, diacritics, or other diacritical
marks.

Justification:

Significant improvement in user experience, especially for speakers of
languages ​​that frequently use diacritics.
Reduces frustration and time spent searching by eliminating the need to type
the word exactly with its accents.

Competitive advantage: Currently, Adobe offers this functionality, while most
competitors lack it.

Benefits:

Increases the efficiency of searching for words within documents.
Simplifies the search process for users who may be unsure about the correct
accentuation of certain words.
Potential to attract users from competing software that does not offer this
feature.

This improvement, although seemingly small, would have a significant impact on
the usability of the software, especially for users of Romance languages ​​and
other languages ​​that use diacritics.
