Description

The getquick-lookup we use handles it perfectly, but the suspicion is that the later similar_text function doesn't.

Research direction

Start by locating the name-search code that calls getquick and the later similar_text function. Reproduce the lookup with names containing non-ASCII characters and compare the results with ASCII names. Done means the search handles those names correctly, with appropriate regression coverage if the repository has relevant tests.
