Thanks! I didn't know unicode equivalence existed, but it seems to be the
feature I want, so at least now I have a name for it :) And yes, actually
setting the stemmer would also be cool, I saw that Xapian has a Hungarian
stemmer but I kind of assumed all stemmers are applied somehow (although it
makes sense they're not). Is stemming done during search or would it affect
the database as well? Just to have a notion of how complicated a settable
stemmer feature would be.
