Bug Description
Hi! For the spanish people, the dash must search the accents witout accents too.
Steps (Ubuntu in Spanish):
- Open dash
- Search "pelicula" > Bug: The dash not find the application "película".
- Same bug for files, if I save a file: "carbón" I will not find searching "carbon".
For a lot of users it's very common not use accents.
I think the dash must search the letters áéíóúÁÉÍÓÚ as aeiouAEIOU too.
I think the dash must search the letters üÜ as uU too.
Thanks in advance!

It is not only Spanish people - I hear Déjà Dup is to be installed by default in 11.10 and typing "de" into dash does not offer Déjà Dup currently.
Oddly, in application lens (that thing you start with Super + a), typing "de" works - Déjà Dup is offered.
