Handle different spelling in app search (accents / spaces / ligatures)
The problem
While reinstalling different apps on my device, I realised that AppsStore does not find "Öffi". As it is an open source app from the F-Droid repository, I suspect the app is already in the store and the issue is due to AppsStore. I suspect the issue is related to the name it starts with a German umlaut, an 'Ö' (o with 2 dots on the top) If the 'Ö' is transcribed to English it would be written "OE", for those who do not know German at all they would rather write just 'O'. F-Droid proposes the app spelled in all three ways "Öffi", "Oeffi", "Offi". Ideally AppsStre would be able to do the same.
Ideally AppsStore would recognise as equivalent:
- ä = ae
- ö = oe
- ü = ue
- ß = ss
as well as
- è = é = e
- c-cedille = c
- á = à = a
