Upgrade StorageAdvanced Search with strict accent (etc.) matching
I love the advanced search feature in Zotero 10.
When searching for references, matching letters with and without accents, and matching straight and curved apostrophes is very helpful.
However, there are times when I am searching for things to be corrected and I want to look specifically for words without accents (e.g. Emile, to change to Émile) or with straight apostrophes (e.g. "L'université de Paris", to change to "L’université de Paris").
Currently I find these when I run Antidote (a bilingual spelling and grammar checker) on a Word document with a Zotero bibliography. I then switch from Antidote to Zotero to correct an entry, and go back and forth one by one.
Could strict matching of diacriticals, etc. be added as an option or selection?

I can’t search for "häst" (horse) without finding matches of "hast" (= hast).
It’s not a big problem for me personally, working in a field that mostly publishes in English, but I imagine this can be tricky for people working in fields with more texts in Swedish/Nordic languages
