'I am on FoolStrasse' versus 'I am on FoolStraße' is not a upper/lower 
case issue. Strasse and Straße have the same casing. So yes, you can do 
case-insensitive search.

The problem you describe does exists. ü and ue are equivalent in German, 
but not in Dutch. So someone searching for ü will also want to receive 
results for ue, a Dutch speaking person would not.

This however, should not be fixed at the string level, but at the file 
format level. I.e. in HTML you can do <DIV lang='nl'>. You could design a 
#27 escape code for text files if you'd like.
