There are categories for questions in other languages than English, but regardless I'm sure you'll get better answers if you ask your question in English. ---

You probably want to use ICU - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/analysis-icu.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/analysis-icu.html) ---

the problem is the vowels whith the accent and not accent, not in the words the below character, if the elasticsearch see the same, the results work fine, i think 1. Α,α,Α,Ά.ά –\> if the user type any of those character must return same results 2. Ε,ε, Έ,έ –\> if the user type any of those character must return same results 3. Ι,ι,Ί,ί,ϊ,ΐ –\> if the user type any of those character must return same results 4. Η,η,Ή,ή –\> if the user type any of those character must return same results 5. Υ,υ,Ύ,ύ,ϋ,ΰ –\> if the user type any of those character must return same results 6, Ο,ο,Ό,ό –\> if the user type any of those character must return same results 1. Ω,ω,Ώ,ώ –\> if the user type any of those character must return same results Σ.σ,ς –\> if the user type any of those character must return same results ex. the word "ηλεκτρονικ **η**" and "ηλεκτρονικ **ή**" is the same, the letter "η" and "ή" is the same but the laste have accent, but the elastic search see like different words, must the elasticsearch see like same words. has nothing to do with the meaning of the word, must sees just the same word how can you do this in elasticsearch thanks ---
