If you can't get the highlighting code in the swish-e dist to work for you, consider using
Search::Tools. The problem AFAIK is that swish-e will transliterate the query string
itself in order to match how the original docs were indexed. Thus the query used for
highlighting has already gone through the equivalent of tr///. If you used Search::Tools,
you could pass the original query into the relevant constructor and then highlight the
original text with the un-transliterated text. One potential problem though is that your
users may enter ascii text directly (already transliterated) and then the highlights will
fail anyway, even searches will work.

NOTE: I would not recommend SWISH::HiLiter (also on cpan with Search::Tools) as it will
inherit the same problem that the current swish-e highlighting code does.
