Description

Hello, I am using reactive search in a web application, which supports languages with diacritics and accents.

However there are cases where database values contain EUR characters but you wish to search using Non-EUR characters.
E.g. Database has "Gräsö" and you wish this to be found only by typing "Graso".

Would it be possible to add support for accent ignore?
In the language that I am using, a possible solution would be to add fuzziness, however fuzziness is not supported when using queryFormat="and" option, which is needed in order to get preferred results.
