I test can search for content, what are you referring to?

yes its correct, but if you search without "accent" it should find it anyway. In Spanish a lot of peoples no using accents in their search.

Okay, I misread it, you need to ignore accent...

I have the same problem with French, often people avoid accent for searching
EloFran commentedon Nov 26, 2020
In Spanish there are words that have or do not have an accent depending on the context, but if you are looking for only the word it should appear in all its contexts. If we add that people in search engines do not use accents, they are usually ignored, because for example Google, you find it both with and without it.

@EloFran @StephaneG31 Hello, do you have any comments on the results of such a search? Do I need to show accents in the results?
StephaneG31 commentedon Dec 25, 2020
It's better to have accent in the result but if it's too complicated it's acceptable.
Moreover (but it's not the same problem, maybe I have to open an other issue) in the result pane, html is sometimes displayed (in the capture you can see the ' character displayed with ...9; in the expression "Let's".)
