Search without diacritics

For some languages there is a common practice to write some text without diacritics marks or accents. Then for other sources you get texts with diacritics - e.g. when doing clips from web pages.

It would look like this (example: searched for term without diacritic marks, but found both versions):

Similarly like in the Evernote web client:
