Description

[Jerome Goudey]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:84.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/84.0

Steps to reproduce:

Using the find function of the find API, there is no option to match or not match diacritics. However, the option exists in the findbar.

Actual results:

Diacritics are always NOT matched

Expected results:

There should be a "matchDiacritics" option in the "options" parameter of the browser.find.find() function.

Thanks! This is an option similar to caseSensitive or entireWord, but for diacritics. For example, let's say you search for Bánana in a document containing Bánana Banana Banana. When matchDiacritics is false, you'll get 3 three results. When matchDiacritics is true, you'll get one result (Bánana).
