I need to do a simple search ignoring some characters with accents. The 
idea would be that "hola" matches the search term "holá".

What I'm currently doing is adding a CharField to my model to store the 
searchable term. For example:

class Book(models.Model):
  title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
  searchable_title = models.CharField(max_length=100)

When I save a Book I'll replace the accented characters in title with their 
non-accented counterparts and store the result in searchable_title. The, 
I'll also do the same thing with the search term before actually doing the 
query.

I don't like this approach because if I need to add more searchable fields 
things start getting noisy in my models.

Any ideas?
