Some countries' alternative spellings (Éire, Österreich etc) include accented characters that are not matched by their non-accented equivalents.

For example, entering 'eire' for Ireland does not result in a match for Ireland.

Rather than amending the data-alternative-spellings to account for accent variations, would it be possible to having broad string matching that works with-without accents?
