QueryParserError: (see above)

The index field is configured like this:

Stemmer disabled
Splitter ZopeSplitter
Splitter: casefolding enabled
Splitter: index numbers disabled
Splitter: index single characters disabled
Splitter: max. length of splitted words 64
Default query parser PyQueryParser
Compressed lists disabled
Use converters disabled
Near distance  5
Similarity search disabled

Any hints? What can I do to force indexing of umlauts?`
