Ability to search without accents for accented words

Description

In Slovakia users are expecting from sites to be able to search without typing accents, for example if they do not have SK keyboard, just US. For example searching for: 'Obyvateľstvo' and 'obyvatelstvo' (population) or 'štatistika' and 'statistika' (statistics) should yield same results.

This should work the other way around as well, as some people might enter entries without accents into CKAN instance and others might search with accents.

For SK language simple ASCII transliteration for searched term and indexed words is sufficient (iconv ASCIITRANSLIT).

Do we need to change in core code or just configure solr?

  • Cc amercader added

This was done in #1701 but only in a custom SOLR schema in the ecportal extension: ​https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-ecportal/commit/6682926d8895f146cdf1e52ab4fbead9b065af77

Can the ASCIIFoldingFilterFactory be added to core CKAN's SOLR schema for all CKAN users to benefit from?

Yes, I don't think there will be any problem, and we won't need to create a new version of the schema as the change is backwards compatible.
