Description
Very small but helpful enhancement for my organization would be a fuzzy match for accented characters like é to show up when searching for e. US English keyboards do not have easily accessible accent marks like European keyboards and require a few confusing workarounds to pull up these characters.
Names like Renée don't come up with the current exact match which is typed out when pulling up Renee, making it appear a participant is not present, or is a cause of confusion between tech support and participants when in-person where we can't copy and paste. Seating a backup delegate mid-debate with a similar accented name ended up taking a minute longer than was comfortable as it was as a vote was about to launch.
