That's a nice article indeed. But, it looks like Google doesnt see the difference between letters with or without accent. For example I have the word 'Tapé' in a domainname com which google treats as 'Tape'.

google still sees a HUGE difference between accented and unaccented words, although not as strongly as a year ago.

adhésif one of the words used for tape in France.

here's googles results with the accent:
