Fuse: Add support for non-ASCII search

[maxcorbeau]

Hi all,

Currently, Fuse doesn't support searching through non-ASCII characters. For instance searching with stro on strömberg only matches str. This could be changed by

• transliterating input to ASCII (e.g. stro -> stro)
• transliterating all strings within an item to ASCII when evaluating that item (e.g. strömberg -> stromberg)
• performing the match on the transliterated item (e.g. match [0,3])
• returning original version item + matches (e.g. strömberg + match [0,3])

This code seems to have a pretty complete transliteration table (see char_map object):
https://github.com/pid/speakingurl/blob/master/lib/speakingurl.js

Not that I have a need for it at the moment, just bringing it up as a suggestion :)

"string".normalize('NFD').replace(/[\u0300-\u036f]/g, ""); would do it as part of a lexer

Hi! Any news about this feature?

I think this should solve the issue:
https://github.com/krisk/Fuse/issues/415

It uses the diacritics library.
