Search: Drop down displays author name with Encodings/Escape but selecting not possible #448

The new search is awesome!

I noticed some strange thing when searching for an author, who has accents in his name and therefore is encoded/escaped: Mari Carmen Su{\'a}rez-Figueroa

When I enter "su" in the search, the following author is suggested, but however clicking on it, does say: Entry not found. However when I search the term "Suarez", the entry is found (BibtexKey generated is without accents).

The search does not understand latex commands. And it would require a lot of thinking and code to change that.

We are open for help with this issue.

Since 3.8 (I think) we convert everything to unicode for the search, so I think this issue can be closed.
