I have seen some questions regarding Déjà Dup that use accented characters ("Déjà Dup") and some that don't ("Deja Dup"). Which way is preferable?

Does using accented characters make questions harder to find via search?

There is a search "bug" here. In my/Google's opinion when you index and search, you should ignore any accents. The current SE search is very strict with them.

To test, just compare the results of searching for déjà and deja

These should both show the same list IMO.
