Missing suggestions with autocomplete (= Häagen-Dazs case)

[g123k]

Hi everyone!

In the app, we use the autocomplete feature to list brand names.
But there is an issue with accentuated characters (e.g.: with "Häagen-Dazs").

When we call the autocomplete method, with Haa as a query, it never suggests Häagen-Dazs.
Is there a way to bypass the strict matching?

I suggest you forward that issue to https://search.openfoodfacts.org/docs#/default/taxonomy_autocomplete_autocomplete_get because even with a "fuzziness" of "2" (default is none) we cannot transform ä into a (looking for brand in en).

Ok, I will open an issue on the dedicated repo 👍
