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.

BTW: this is NOT a duplicate of bug 746761 , that one is about not being able to type accented characters into dash, this one is about the opposite - typing in unaccented characters (which is often much easier, how many people using US kayboard know ho to type in "Déjà") does not yield results one would expect.
