Remove soft hyphens in keywords used for searching

Karl Ove Hufthammer requested to merge work/huftis/remove-soft-hyphens into master

Some languages/translations use soft hyphens in long words so that the words can be automatically split across lines. The soft hyphen characters are normally invisible, and the user never writes soft hyphens, so when searching for keywords containg these characters, the characters have to be removed in order for the search string to match the keywords.
