Comment 14 for bug 116453

If you look at the copy and paste from adobe reader and chrome, the word 'Über' is not actually in that document. The diaresis is separate from the 'U'. We could make search looser by stripping out combining characters. Looks like that's what adobe reader and chrome do. Is that the kind of thing that people would want? Being able to find 'uber' by searching for 'über' or 'ubér' or 'ũb̏ȇ̱r̽'?

That might make some people upset. We already have bug # 85702 requesting to make search stricter. Though personally I think a looser search makes sense.
