 Ok, I have indexed all words but without non-English chars. But, 
why you get indexed diseñar and I index disenar? My libxml2 is 
libxml2-2.6.11-1  
 
 If it's impossible to index ñ for the UTF translation of the 
libxml2 I'll translate the queries of the users. If they want to 
search, for example, 'asignatura=diseño' I'll translate it to 
'asignatura=diseno' , I think is the only way for me to make it 
work. 
 
 
Thank you.
