Remove or replace?
Remove is relatively trivial. For example, iterate on each character. If its code is below 127, add it to a string builder.
Replace is harder: you need a way to map éèëê and similar to e, àää and such to 
a, and so on.
Search by "ignoring accented chars" raises the same questions: is searching "ca" matching "ça" or "àcça"?
