--- Comment #12 from madhavkiran.sodum at gmail.com ---
A summary of the points and an answer as to why Match Diacritics is different
from previous requests for other features in the QFS:

1. Match Case and Match Diacritics are both character level search options and
similar in implementation. 
2. They are within the scope of an average user and affect many European and
Indic languages. 
3. If I can easily type something accurately, then I should be able to easily
find it accurately as well.

On the other hand:
1. Find Whole Words Only is not character level but word level search. So we
are reasonable in pushing it to the SF dialog. 
2. Kashida is neither character nor word level search option. It is a
justification system and also optional. It is also mostly limited to one
instance per line and one instance per paragraph. It affects only one writing
system - Arabic. So we are reasonable in pushing it to SF dialog.
3. Regular expressions are non-trivial search options whose usage is generally
beyond the knowledge of an average user. So we are reasonable in pushing it to
SF dialog.
