hi Casey,

try some words with "german umlaute". things like:

mülltonne
waschbär
behörde
überflieger

the last one will work without the patch. explanation: the first 
character is splitted away [non-ascii-character] [both for storing the 
word in the Lexicon and resolving the query-words through the 
queryparser]. so it will in both cases end up in

berflieger

searching for 'überflieger' will give you correct results. this is the 
reason, why some people think, that ZCTextIndex works with german 
'umlaute', but it does not...;-)

hope this is helpful.

cheers, maik
