It can't search for words that contains complex characters like á, é, í, ó, ú. 
In the Spanish keyboard layout you have to press to keys to make one of these
characters: first the accent key, and then the letter, after that the caracter
appears.

I've found the bug trying to search in the Spanish online newspaper. At this
moment I'm not sure it is a problem of all platforms. The problem is
reproducible in the Linux version.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.periodistadigital.com
2. Try to search for "Buzón"


Actual Results:  
It fails just before "ó". That character doesn't appear in the search string.

Expected Results:  
It should be able to use complex characters in the search. This kind of letters
are very usual in languages like Spanish or German.
Reporter, please try with Fx 1.0.3
