public class ISOLatin1AccentFilter
extends org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenFilter

A filter that replaces accented characters in the ISO Latin 1 character set (ISO-8859-1) by their unaccented equivalent. The case will not be altered.

For instance, 'à' will be replaced by 'a'.

When indexing, acts like a synonym filter and return two tokens: the original accented token and the new unaccented one.
Otherwise, only return the unaccented token.
