Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I've looked up on tantivy' repo and this one but did not find any doc related to the support of other languages (I think for now it's just plain english?)

Describe the solution you'd like
A support for other "collation" for example searching for "Remi" in french should catch "Rémi" as well. A search of "fuß" in german should catch "fuss" as well (not a real word, my german is a bit rusty 😅 )

Please let me know if I missed something in the doc. And thanks for this piece of software ❤️

Research direction

The issue requests language-aware collation, including matching “Remi” with “Rémi” and “fuß” with “fuss,” but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by checking the existing Quickwit and Tantivy documentation for language and collation support; done would require a defined approach for the requested multilingual matching behavior.
