If you want to do an accent-sensitive MySQL query, you have to either modify the query with COLLATE parameters, or you have to change your database collation type.
The so-called Q2A simple search module is not as simple as its name says. It employs dozens of functions. The issue with Q2A is you don't know where to modify the SQL query with COLLATE attributes.
This forces me to use the other choice, which is changing the database collation type. For those who have the same interest, the keyword is utf8_bin.
