When club members search for "The Bru Club" our club entry doesn't show up as it is spelled with a punctuated letter, "The Brü Club"

Describe the solution you'd like:
When filtering a list, it is best to filter the list by stripping out any extra character punctuation (not everyone knows the way to type punctuated characters : umlauts, accents, etc).

I checked the underlying implementation to see what would it take to do this since the filtering is performed client-side via bootstrap-select logic.

There was a PR in bootstrap-select that performs the expected logic via data-live-search-normalize="true" - snapappointments/bootstrap-select#1686

The version that is currently pinned in BCOEM is v 1.12.0 whereas the logic desired was released in v1.13.4 back in 2018 (source)

Confirmed - and thanks for reporting and doing some further research. The next version will update to Bootstrap Select 1.13.18 and add the data-live-search-normalize="true" specification to each dropdown that employs the function.

Ah awesome @geoffhumphrey !
Was going to dive in and try to provide this fix myself, but didn't have the time yet. Appreciate the assistance.
