Should both results be returned in both cases? If so, take a look at the IsoLatin1Filter class, it will remove those accents for indexing and searching if needed.

hello, i use lucene to index documents in Italian. many terms end with accented letters: società, fedeltà, etc What happen now is that if a user search for : societa' (note the a and the ' character), it doesn't get the same results as he would when searching for società. What is the best practice to handle such situations ? i haven't tuned anyhow lucene, and i'm using the default analyzer. thanks for any suggestions, valerio -- http://valerioschiavoni.blogspot.com http://jroller.com/page/vschiavoni
