Distinct words with distinct meanings, sure.

But when a naïve (naive? ☺) person or one without the easy ability
to enter characters with diacritics searches for "cote", I want to
return possible matches containing any of your 4 examples.  It's
slightly fuzzier if they search for "coté", in which case they may
mean "coté" or they might mean be unable to figure out how to
add a hat and want to type "côté". Though I'd rather get more
results, even if it has some that only match fuzzily.
