+To match regardless of accents (so `cafe` finds `Café`), pass a custom
+`lookupFilter` that strips diacritics from both sides:
+
+```js
+const fold = (text) => text.normalize('NFD').replace(/\p{M}/gu, '').toLowerCase();
+
+$('#autocomplete').devbridgeAutocomplete({
+    lookup: countries,
+    lookupFilter: (suggestion, query) => fold(suggestion.value).includes(fold(query)),
+});

+The default `formatResult` still highlights only exact (case-insensitive)
+matches, so an accent-folded match is listed but not highlighted.
