Maybe this will save some other newbie some time...

I went through all the usual steps a newbie goes through to get accented
matching to work.  I built my database using rundig, then I set my locale
when I discovered it was wrong.  I got to a point where I could enter
licenziosit� and get the proper search term (licenziosita or licenziosit�),
but the reverse didn't work;  entering licenziosita got me no matches
because it was only looking for that word.

Finally, when searching the archives one more time before posting, I found a
post in the thread about the accent patch for 3.1.5 which mentioned running
"htfuzzy -vv accents" and seeing that the words were all being truncated.  I
ran this to check and saw that mine were not being truncated.  But now my
search works both ways!

So, moral of the story - something I changed meant that htfuzzy needed to be
rerun, but the rundig script wasn't rerunning it.  Maybe this should be
added to the FAQ about locale?
