How to make CTRL+F ignore accents and diacritics when searching on page in Google Chrome?

When I press Ctrl+F in Google Chrome and type for example patnact I want patnáct and patnact to be highlighted on page.

Since few week ago this feature has been disabled.
Can I enable it again, if so how?

Solution 1:

I had the exact same problem. I was using Chrome in my native language which uses all the accents (č,š, á, é etc) and the search was working as you described. I switched Chrome back to English (in Settings-+Show advanced settings-Language and input settings) and it changed the search behavior - so patnáct would also match patnact.

Solution 2:

I don't think this is possible. You must either search for "patnáct" to highlight all instances of "patnáct",

or search for "patnact" to highlight all instances of "patnact".

This is a limitation of Google Chrome's "find in page" feature; and due to how little this affects most users, it is unlikely that it will be added any time in the near future.

Solution 3:

Since Ctrl+F is disable, to enable it Please follow the below steps:

• go to the Settings page, click on the + sign to show more Advanced settings.

• now untick the option: Use hardware acceleration when available

Do a restart and check whether search within the webpage is working.
