Subject: Re: lax matching is not a great default behavior

That would be good, together with introducing an entry for it in the
Options menu directly below (or above?) "Ignore case for search". This
deserves to be as visible as that option. Should it be "Ignore accents
for search"?

I think it's often best to make something just available first to get
more feedback on it before it's made the default. (One thing I expect
from that feedback is bug reports about how that option doesn't work
for some characters for some languages, as I've written about in
another thread, which will give an indication of whether the problem
is as serious as I made it out to be.)

Not at all as good! To "quickly release" something doesn't mean that
it is a quick change for users, who may keep using that version for a
long time.
