Within Lucene the solution is to index the accented and unaccented versions of the word at the same position (i.e. without incrementing the position counter). Perhaps this could be added as an option to the ISOLatin1AccentFilter? Or perhaps it's already there?

I've working around the schema.xml file with the lines you sent me. Now i can filter the query, but the problem is that i have accents in my index so, when i search for words with accents, solr only search for the word without them and i need both of them. I don't know if there is a way to do this. Regards. Manu.
