When you search for "pao" it did not match the word "pão" (bread in portuguese), because of the "~" (tilde) in the "a" letter.

So I modified the file "lunr.js", inside "node_modules/@cmfcmf/docusaurus-search-local/lib/":

Added the function:
String.prototype.toLowerCaseNormMx = function() {
return this.normalize("NFD").replace(/\p{Diacritic}/gu, "")
}
Replaced every ".toLowerCase()" for "toLowerCaseNormMx()"

Result: Now I can search for "accented words" without the need for the accent.

Disclaimer: I needed a quick fix ASAP, so I did the "wrong" way.
So I am posting just in case it helps anyone.
