title: Zend Search Lucene and Accented Characters
body: <p>I'm trying to find a way in Zend_Search_Lucene to pull off the following scenario:</p>
  
  <p>Let's say we have a user and her name is Aïcha (note the special character).  If I'm searching the index for Aicha (without the special derivative of i), I'd like for Aïcha to be returned in the results.</p>
  
  <p>Is there something special I need to do when indexing or searching in order to make this work?  I've read solutions about normalizing the data before indexing, replacing all special characters with normalized characters, but I'd rather not go that route.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,
  Gary</p>
