Calendar searches are too strict on accented letters

The search function in the Calendar app would be improved by allowing unaccented (and incorrectly accented) search characters.

E.g. Search term à should return ā, ä, a, å, ą etc etc (but with à prioritised)

Zoë or Zoe? One search should suffice. This would be a good standard across many apps, though I’ve not tested them.

You’d need to take this up with the upstream Etar issues (didn’t come up yet). Etar searches the android calendar provider (it’s backend really).

When filing a bug, you can state to look for a “collate”/“collation” option to also match diacritics/accents. There’s a “Collator” class in Android text utils for this and I see an online example that uses it.

The Contacts App (also relying on android content provider) will return accented letters when searched without and it uses that class.
