Description Chris Connett 2006-07-06 05:51:56 UTC 
Version:           1.4.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.4.6 
OS:                Linux

Some artists I listen to use accented characters in their names, e.g. Moxy Früvous.  If I want to search for such artists with the collection search bar, I need to either fetch the character from a character map application, or search on other words or character subsequences.  In the case of "Gröûp X", this leaves very little to search on ;-)

It would be great if a search for "fruvous" (note the lack of accented character) found "Früvous" (with the accented character).
