I am facing a problem only if an umlaut is the first char of a word.

As an example, we have a word "Überbrückungsgeld".

If I try to search for "Überbrückungsgeld" swish-e gives me no results. 
But if I search for "überbrückungsgeld" it'll give me a list with all 
hits. Surprisingly all occurrances of this word have an big "Ü" as the
first char!

So, does anybody have a hint for me, why swish-e doesn't find the word 
as it is written?

ciao,
