    Interestingly I just wrote a plug-in for exactly that today :-)

    https://github.com/DataTables/Plugins/blob/master/filtering/type-based/accent-neutralise.js

    It requires DataTables 1.10 which is pre-beta and can be obtained form the downloads page.

    Let me know how you get on with it.

    I'm not sure that 1.9 has that ability. I've never tried it at least...

    so, in "DataTables-1.9.4/media/src/core/" folder i have the core.filter.js.
    How to do with a plugin in order to override a function inside that file ?
    Something like that :

    jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.myfilter{

    // override the _fnDataToSearch ( sData, sType ) function

    }

    Rather than modifying the core, I would suggest you use a type based filter as described here: http://datatables.net/development/filtering - which is basically what my 1.10 solution above does.
