I was reluctantly coming to the same conclusion.
I've modified the search process on my site.
"Jovano Jovanke" is a well known song from Macedonia, pronounced
iovano...
(the "j" is pronounced "i"). So everybody write it a different
way : ïovano,
iovano, jovano... if you search for "iovano" you'll find "jovano"
which is
the right orthography.

the same with a lot of diacritics letters no Latin-1, and also
cyrillic...
"iovano" search also for "Йовано"... it's not yet perfect, not
finished, it
was hard work
What is your approach to tweaking the search? Do you modify the
searchindex table itself, or do something to the query, or both?
Since the searchindex has a minimum word length for searching,
looking for single characters seems like it won't work. I was
thinking that the way to go would be to transliterate (is that the
right word) these when building the searchindex. I think my needs
are less demanding than yours!
