New Features
When searching, allow use of un-accented characters to match accented characters in all fields and all languages (not just authors and English as before)

The rules for matching un-accented characters are done in a language dependent way. So if your calibre interface language is set to English, n will match both n and ñ, but if it is set to Spanish, it will match only n, as in Spanish ñ is a separate alphabet in Spanish.
