Enable option for diacritics and letter case for the search feature #3608

Hello,

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When searching for words to check their annotation, it would be nice to have the possibility to ignore diacritics and the letter case to reduce the number of searches needed.

To go further, it could be useful to also have a search feature not limited to exact hits. For example, if I look for the word "amphora", it would be nice have an option to also retrieve "fuzzy results" like "amphorae", or "amphoras".

Describe the solution you'd like The addition of two check boxes in the search parameters: one to ignore diacritics, the other to ignore the letter case (and perhaps a third one for fuzzy results).

Describe alternatives you've considered I currently do four searches per word (more for plurals or word variations); for instance for the word "céramique", I look for "céramique", "Céramique", "ceramique", and "Ceramique".

Apologies if this has been asked before !
