It is probably for the users to ignore the accents, simply because that is more standardized. As for what to do about the misspellings then, I am not sure. For instance, when I search Dusseldorf, I spell it like that, not "Duesseldorf." Perhaps others do this differently? I have a on screen keyboard, so I can change to whatever I want and put the correct characters in, but usually I'm too lazy when I'm searching for something.
