I have just updated the FAQ:

- Ignore Case: [foo] = [Foo] = [FOO]
- Ignore Accents: [resumé] = [resume]
- Ignore Punctuation: [foo, bar] = [foo; bar] = [foo?!... bar] = [foo bar]
- Ignore Blanks: spaces, tabs, returns and other Unicode spacing characters are ignored; [foo bar] = [foo    bar] = [foobar]
- Ignore Symbols: characters classified in Unicode as: Spacing_Mark (Mc), Enclosing_Mark (Me), Math_Symbol (Sm), Currency_Symbol (Sc), Modifier_Symbol (Sk) or Other_Symbol (So) are all ignored; [$] = [€] = [<<<] = []
- Ignore Composition: in Unicode, some characters can be encoded using either a single codepoint, or a sequence of codepoints. This is especially the case for accented lowercase Roman vowels (those part of ISO-8859-1), and Korean letters. When enabled, both forms are considered equal.
