Viewer - Search function - Accented characters

In languages that use characters with diacritical marks (like accents), names do have variable spelling.
For example, a name like "Katia" exists also as "Kátia".
The usual behaviour for the search function is such that if one searches for the non-accented spelling (Katia) variants (like Kátia) are also presented as results.
It seems that Calibre Viewer doesn't follow the standard way:
if one searchs for Katia, only the exact occurrences (plain first a) will be shown - to find occurrences of Kátia one must search exactly for Kátia (with the acute accent on first a).

Is it really like that or am I missing some setting?
