Christina,

I suppose a simple solution is to transform ae -> a-umlaut etc before the
indexing takes place. 

Otherwise I think I can make a variant of the stemming algorithm that does
what you want: I will try and put something together in the next couple of
days. After that, it would be a matter of replacing modules inside OpenFTS,
and no doubt you could do that or get help in having it done.
