I think you'll want to write your own Analyzer + Tokenizer, detect tokens with umlauts, and then emit two tokens at the same position (think of them as synonyms), one being the original one with the umlaut, and the other one with the umlaut transformed according to the rules (e.g. ü -> ue). Hm, I wonder if GermanAnalyzer already does this... maybe, have a look.
