Hi guys, I'm at the point where docuements are successfully indexing, but asciifolding does not seem to be taking effect. If you wouldn't mind, please take a look at my settings, mapping and query.

```auto
      {
        settings: {
          analysis: {
            filter: {
              min_eng: {
                type: 'stemmer',
                name: 'english',
                // name: 'minimal_english',
              },
            },
            analyzer: {
              sensible_analyzer: {
                tokenizer: 'standard',
                filter: [
                  'min_eng',
                  'asciifolding',
                  'lowercase',
                ],
              },
            },
          },
        },
      }

```

.. mapping:

````auto
      type: String,
      required: true,
      es_indexed: true,
      analyzer: 'sensible_analyzer',
      search_analyzer: 'sensible_analyzer',
    },
```
and finally my simple query: 

````

```
  multi_match: {
    query: this.query.q,
    fields: ['title', 'authors.name'],
    cutoff_frequency: 0.0007, // https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-common-terms-query.html#_examples_3
  },

```

```auto

And so.. If I query for 'andré' with this setup, I receive results containing 'André', but if I omit the 'é' and just search 'andre' or 'Andre', I get no results. 
Any ideas? Thanks a lot.
```
