Accent insensitive search feature

[wickedest]

I have a user asking me for an accent insensitive search. However, Mergely is using CodeMirror's search and searchcursor addons, but they don't seem to have this feature. A SO ticket shows the way to strip accents from strings:

line.normalize('NFD').replace(/[\u0300-\u036f]/g, '');

Seems like a relatively easy feature to implement.

CodeMirror 6 allows you to pass a normalize function to SearchCursor to implement stuff like this. That doesn't exist in 5.x yet though. I'm definitely not interested in hard-coding a range like that (which matches a rather arbitrary set of accents).
