Search ignoring character variations

I'm half torn between giving this the 👍 , and saying that if you want to do this, you should be using your own custom filterOptions function. I can see this would be something that would grow significantly (e.g. would be good to have umlauts in there, speaking from Germany 😄). I'd also make this optional, so add a prop to turn this on or off (e.g. ignoreAccentsInFilter={true}).

Note you don't need the | in a group, and you can chain the replacements, so this works fine

string = string.replace(/[áàâã]/gi, "a")
    .replace(/[éèê]/gi, "e")
    .replace(/[íìî]/gi, "i")
// etc

There is a suggestion from @brianreavis in #227 to use sifter.js for the filtering, which would solve this sort of thing nicely.

sorry for the insanely delayed respose!

thanks for the comment and corrections @bruderstein! I gonna have a better look at it.

My thinking at the time was: "Google does like this, why not you?". Hahaha!

Is there any progress on this? I would really like to use umlauts as well...

update: setting ignoreAccents to false solved my problem

This has been resolved by using ignoreAccents prop and setting it to false.
