Lucene is highly configurable, but out of the box StandardAnalyzer and
SimpleAnalyzer do not do anything with this. To handle it requires adding a
folding filter. I think they have one suitable for it, but it is not hard to
write one to do it.
It may require creating ones own Analyzer, which is nothing more than a
tokenizer and a chain of filters, to add in a filter.
This is something that JSword needs also and I haven't gotten around to work on
it. I see it as part of a larger solution of handling accents which is another
folding problem.
