That would be a partial solution. Accents will not be a problem any more, but if you use an Analyzer than stems tokens, they will not rally be tokenized properly. Searches will probably work, but if you look at the index you will see that some terms were not analyzed properly. But it may be sufficient for your needs, so try just with accent removal.
