searching using characters in other scripts should see slight improvements, but i dont expect much difference

these improvements apply to the friends list and sidebar friends list. because other tabs use sqlite's native pattern matching, i can't improve on those. in order to improve them in the future we would have to store cleaned versions of values we'd like to search. the most benefit would be on displayname. however, even with that we would not be able to use the localeIncludes method i made, leaving some room for improvement.
