Ignore accents in search?

As in the title, it would be useful if a search for “cliche” returns “cliché” and vice versa. I remember in Mysql you could do this by using the utf8_general_ci collation (which also helps with the similar issue of lower and upper case).

Is there any way to achieve something similar with dgraph?

DQL (graphql±) offers fuzzy text search capabilities. Not in the graphql endpoint although you did not specify whether you are using dql/graphql.

There could be a better solution that I am unaware of.
