Robert Muir updated LUCENE-1343:
--------------------------------

              Summary: A replacement for AsciiFoldingFilter that does a more 
thorough job of removing diacritical marks or non-spacing modifiers.  (was: A 
replacement for ISOLatin1AccentFilter that does a more thorough job of removing 
diacritical marks or non-spacing modifiers.)
        Fix Version/s: 3.1
    Affects Version/s: 3.1
        Lucene Fields: [New, Patch Available]  (was: [New])
          Description: 
The ISOLatin1AccentFilter takes Unicode characters that have diacritical marks 
and replaces them with a version of that character with the diacritical mark 
removed.  For example é becomes e.  However another equally valid way of 
representing an accented character in Unicode is to have the unaccented 
character followed by a non-spacing modifier character (like this:  é  )    The 
ISOLatin1AccentFilter doesn't handle the accents in decomposed unicode 
characters at all.    Additionally there are some instances where a word will 
contain what looks like an accented character, that is actually considered to 
be a separate unaccented character  such as  Ł  but which to make searching 
easier you want to fold onto the latin1  lookalike  version   L  .   

The UnicodeNormalizationFilter can filter out accents and diacritical marks 
whether they occur as composed characters or decomposed characters, it can also 
handle cases where as described above characters that look like they have 
diacritics (but don't) are to be folded onto the letter that they look like ( Ł 
 -> L )
