Add accent-insensitive name searching in ChMS.

CRM

This feature would allow the system to ignore accent marks when searching names in the database. For example, “José” and “Jose” or “García” and “Garcia” would return the same results. This helps prevent duplicate records when a person’s name is sometimes entered with accents and sometimes without them.


The goal is to make searches more flexible, improve matching accuracy, and keep our database cleaner and easier to manage for all users.
