Do you want to convert ascii codes `^` to `K`, `E` to `a`. etc to etc? That's what I would recommend. Though ultimately it would be great if for example `a` searched for `a` and `E` and `E` could also be used to search specifically for `E`.

Related to shabados/presenter#146 ~ first char to trigger main letters search. @Harjot1Singh you'll have to add logic that the first char in desktop if it's an ascii char ~ to not allow that in the rest of the search and convert to main letters search (There is no word that begins with ~ char so it's okay). If an input had full word search and then the first char entered is ~ perhaps it should sanitize the rest of the query for consistency.

I think this might be the best method. It would be just space and 35 Akhars
