Accent Insensitive searching in Apps menu (collation?)

[megatux]

Example: searching for "mouse" settings in Spanish ("ratón") if I type "raton" it does not get a match:

Because this is using libsynapse, I installed Synapse bar application and checked this and looks like has the same issue. No accent insensitive search.

This should involve use collate somewhere

any hint?

Yes, I think you should check the libsynapse code https://github.com/elementary/applications-menu/blob/master/src/Backend/SynapseSearch.vala https://github.com/elementary/applications-menu/blob/master/lib/synapse-plugins/ https://github.com/elementary/applications-menu/tree/master/lib/synapse-core

I'm having this problem too, I never accentuate using search because I usually want to open the app fast. Every other app launcher I used on Linux is accent insensitive.
