Thread:Talk:Search/Accents/diacritics/hyphens are not handled at all like the current Lucene search/reply (2)

Well, that's not going to be a good situation. If I am in reading mode and searching for an article that contains "Harrods has an upper-class clientele", I will surely accept "clientèle" as well. If I am in fixing mode and looking for articles that incorrectly use the French word "clientèle" instead of the English word "clientele", then I don't want to see every article that contains "clientele", just the ones with the diacritic mark. Same issue with hyphens; Lucene pays attention to hyphens if you specify them, but CirrusSearch does not. With Lucene, I can search "to clean-out the" and remove the incorrect hyphens, but CirrusSearch produces all pages that contain that phrase with or without the hyphen. I need a way to specify that an exact match is sought.
