[Ferret-talk] ignoring 'accents' when i search

Does anyone know of a way of being 'accent-insensitive' when i do a search?

For example, if i have a resource with the name "La Bohème", and someone
searches for 'boheme' i want them to find that resource, even though the 'e'
doesn't have the accent.  At the moment, it will only find it if they search
for the properly accented version.

I guess soundex support for ferret is what I mean, but maybe there's another
way?

thanks, max
