[Troy A. Griffitts]

I would guess if we build lucene indexes for that Bible, the lucene 
would search ignoring accents?

Or that module is not UTF-8?

We have filters that we use on ancient Greek texts that allow searching 
regarless of diacritics.  He could add a set for any language, but I'm 
not sure if this is the right location to place responsibility.  Maybe 
if it was an ICU filter that could work for any language-- like if it's 
just a normalization problem.  We could use that one filter for all 
Bibles like we do the filter for Greek.

Not sure, just thinking out loud.
