Hi,


I'm using Solr for a search in a name database and get the best results using 
the standard query parser with a phonetic search. The only downside of it is 
that the phonetic search - as the name says - looks for matches that sound 
similar. Therefore, if there is a typo in a letter with an accent that changes 
the pronunciation, there is no match.



Examples:

- Search with Muller doesn't find Müller

- Search with Francois doesn't find François



I'm using the Solr UI for my tests, setting q=phonetic_full_name:Francois for 
example. I have also tried to do a fuzzy search adding a tilde to the name 
(phonetic_full_name:Francois~), but that didn't change the result.



Is there a way to use Solr's phonetic search but somehow adding a mapping for a 
list of accented and non-accented letters which would consider them equally 
(ç<->c, ü<->u, è<->e, ñ<->n etc)?



Thanks for any tips.
