+Both patterns and the values which are searched in are normalized to Unicode form
+[NFKC](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/). This means that, for example,
+pattern `fi` will match ligature `fi`, and vice versa.

+Search is case-insensitive, meaning that pattern `abc` will match `ABC`.

+Search is diacritics-agnostic, meaning that pattern `pate` matches both `pâté` and `patê`,
