I've been finding duplicates in the names of actors, where
accents are involved, for exemple:
Vítor Norte (acute accent on the i) versus Vitor Norte (no
accent)
When a contributor is entering the name of an actor, adding to
the cast of a film, a popdown list displays a few options.
If the contributor finds the name he wants on that list, he uses
it. Otherwise he creates a new one.
The problem seems to be that such list is not displaying both
accented and unaccented characters.
In the example above, the correct spelling is Vítor, with
the accute accent. If the contributor spells it without the accent,
the name Vítor Norte (accented) does not show up as an
option. The tendency will be to create a new actor, causing not
only a duplication, but also a misspelt.
However, if searching the website, the seach returns both the
accented and unaccented versions.

(Elsewhere I've already requested the deletion of 617605)
Is it possible to have the crew and the cast popdown lists
reacting the same way as the website search?
