: is there an analyzer which automatically converts all german special : characters to their specific dissected from, such as ü to ue and ä to : ae, etc.?!
See also the ISOLatin1TokenFilter which does this regardless of langauge. : I also would like to have, that the search is always run against the : dissected data. But when the results are returned the initial data with : the non modified data should be returned. stored fields (returned to clients) always contain the orriginal field value, regardless of which analyzer/tokenizer/tokenfilters you use.

Even if you change the subject line of your email, other mail headers still track which thread you replied to and your question is "hidden" in that thread and gets less attention. It makes following discussions in the mailing list archives particularly difficult. See Also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_hijacking -Hoss
