I believe the german porter stemmer should handle this. I haven't
used it with SOLR but I've used it with other projects, and basically,
when the word is parsed, the umlauts and also accented vowels are
converted to plain vowels. I guess with SOLR you use
solr.SnowballPorterFilterFactory:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters#head-b80fb581f4e078142c694014f1a8f60c0935e080
with the German option (like in their example).
You probably want to apply this both at index and query time.

but somehow can't find the solution. Is it possible that I treat
'möchten' , 'mochten' and 'moechten' the same way.
Of course not hardcoding this but rather work for any umlaut.
