What happened?

Uncertain if this would be a "bug" or a feature request. Also I did search issues for this and didn't see any other mentions. So I HOPE that this isn't a duplicate like the last submission I did.

I have the audio book Shōgun by James Clavell. When doing a search from either the web interface or the Android client for shogun no results are found.

The chōonpu (Japanese: 長音符, lit. "long sound symbol"), also known as chōonkigō (長音記号), onbiki (音引き), bōbiki (棒引き), or Katakana-Hiragana Prolonged Sound Mark by the Unicode Consortium, is a Japanese symbol that indicates a chōon, or a long vowel

If you use the special character the results show. (Which I will be honest I have no idea how to get from either the Google Keyboard or my desktop character set, I had to copy and paste from an example on a webpage.)

What did you expect to happen?

The search should be a bit looser when it comes to results. e.g.
ā = a
ī = i
ū = u
ē = e
ō = o

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Add a title that has one of these special characters in the title.
  2. Search on it without using special characters.

Adding a fuzzy search should help with this. Part of the problem is that searches are done by converting to lowercase, but non-ASCII characters do not have a "to lowercase" in SQLite. (Mentioned in https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/2187#issuecomment-1749685811 and https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/2234)
