And before anyone gets confused, this applies only to searching book metadata in the main calibre interface/content server. Not to searching inside books via the calibre viewer.

Of course different accents have different meanings, but it's ok to search for non-accented characters (90% of my books are with VN metadata) because I encounter many cases where it is impossible to type in the VN characters (because of the lack of the needed keyboard/software).
I can see the option you referred to, but as you pointed out, it applies only to Engish interface while I want to force it 'on" for for Vietnamese interface.
