Steps to reproduce:
Type control-F to search for a string. Now type in a dash, for example "–" (en dash).
Actual results:
The search will stop not just on dashes, but on hyphens too. To get it to stop only on dashes I must select the mis-labeled "Match Diacritics" option.
Expected results:
The search should only stop on dashes, if that's what I entered as my search text. But if I need to select an option to get that behavior, the option should be labeled something obvious, not "Match Diacritics", which isn't just misleading, it's wrong. The distinction between dash and hyphen has nothing to do with diacritics.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Search' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

This is not a duplicate of bug 1762496. That bug says that search for hyphen incorrectly returns dashes. This bug is about the label on the "Match Diacritics" checkbox. The label is wrong, that's not what the checkbox does. I'm not asking for a fix to the problem described in bug 1762496.
