Another option is to have every game name load into an array with the accents stripped every time a search is performed, and then strip any accents from the search request and perform the search on that array.
It's faster than checking every possible accent combination for every game, but slower than the method I gave previously.
That would be brutally slow. The second column is likely the most efficient way to do this. I just don't know if the very small number of cases where it matters justifies it. People have no problem finding the content as it stands now and, though I always prefer to be as accurate as possible, the lack of accents doesn't make the titles unrecognizable.
