User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b5) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b5

When searching for the Greek letters "κομη" in the URL mentioned it only returns words with no accents like "κομητών" but no words with accents like "κομήτης".
It should return the accented words as well or else have an option to disable  accent sensitivity.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto : http://users.uoa.gr/~nektar/history/tributes/ancient_authors/Aristoteles/meteorologica.htm
2. Search the word part "κομη" in the search bar.
3.
Actual Results:  
Words like "κομητών". Word "κομήτης" NOT returned.

Expected Results:  
Should return both "κομητών" and "κομήτης" words.

This bug should be global, i.e. in other accented languages also.

I agree. Chrome's search isn't accent sensitive, it's better.
