Hi all,
I’m working since some years on a digital edition of the works of a former german author. In my transcription of those works are lots of gothic characters like the old german long s (Unicode: LATIN SMALL LETTER LONG S). For example: Büchſe (exactly Buͤchſe).
In my Full-Text-Search my goal is, that the user asks for „Büchse“ and gets „Büchse“ AND „Büchſe“ (with long s). In best case, she should get „Büchse“ AND „Büchſe“ AND „Buͤchſe“. How can I achieve, that //text[. contains text { } treats s and ſ and ü and uͤ as the same character?
Thanks a lot for any help.
Best regards, Guenter
