Add ignoreAccentsInResults option when searching with filter widget

[davellanedam]

Hello Mottie, first of all, awesome work! and thank you very for giving it to the people!

I´ve been using your plugin for a while, everything was working great, but a few days ago i was using the filter widget feature on a table with spanish language data.

The problem is with the tildes, here it is:

If i search for "Bogota" (no accents) on the city column using the filter widget, i got no results at all, because the rows contain "Bogotá" (note the accented "a" letter).

So, can you please add ignoreAccentsInResults option to the search filter widget? i suggest option, because maybe not everybody would need it. But i think this option would be great for any other languages than spanish that use accents. Google does like that, you can search "Bogota" and it shows results with both "Bogota" and "Bogotá".

I wish this can be done, keep the good and nice work buddy!

Thank you for answering, i know they work for sorting, but it doesn´t for FILTER SEARCH WIDGET, it sorts very nice, but when i search i get only results with no accents, thanks!

oh sorry about that, you are right they should get extended into searching, I'll see if I can extend it, might not get to this till later in the week though, thanks for being it in up.

Thank you very much man for this great piece of code! Actually i didn´t think you could do this so fast, i was just suggesting a new cool feature for accented languages, again, thanks a lot!
