Default Search words with accentuated letters

Hi,
I'd like to search for words containing letters with accents but
without discriminating them (I'd like to find the 3 strings "béh",
"bèh" and "bêh" for ex. but supply only 'beh' in my search field
to get them all): is there a way to provide some kind of wildcard
to obtain this result ?

Or use a macro maybe ?

Thanks.
Spendius

Or for only those three characters, search for
b[^0232^0233^0234]h
or
b[éèê]h
