So basically, I have an autocomplete field in my application. When a result from the autocomplete matches the query, then the result is highlighted (bold in my case).

As you can see in the picture below, if the result has an accent I would like the regex to be accentuation insensitive.

That means that in image number 2, the results should be highlighted.

Here is my code:

highLightResult(query: string): string {
      const regExp = new RegExp(this.search.trim(), "ig");
      let found = query.search(regExp) !== -1;

      if (found) {
        return query.replace(regExp, (match: string): string => {
          const res = "<span class='text-bold'>" + match + "</span>";
          return res;
        });
      } else {
        return query;
      }
    }

Here, query is the value of the input

How to make it work ?
