What is the problem?

The searchable functionality works, but it does not match results when the database value contains accents and the user types the name without accents.

Real example:
Database value: Fábio
User types: Fabio
Result: ❌ No results found
Expected behavior: ✔️ Return Fábio, ignoring accent marks.

Impact
This causes discomfort for users, as many names naturally include accent marks, but users often type them without accents. The current strict search behavior results in a poor user experience.

Code snippets to replicate the problem

<flux:select variant="listbox" description="Responsável" searchable wire:model.live="rid" placeholder="Selecione..." search:placeholder="Buscar colaborador..." class="max-w-full w-full truncate [&_.flux-select-trigger]:truncate">
<x-slot name="search">
<flux:select.search placeholder="Pesquisar" />
</x-slot> 
@foreach ($users as $user)
@endforeach 
</flux:select>
