Yes, and that's my point.  I'd expect character folding when doing
searches to work in an analogous fashion: If I type `C-s é', I would be
surprised if it found "e", but not the other way around.

But you are Danish, are you not? As such, I would have thought that when you search for ø, you would want to find a Swedish ö? (this is the inverse of the natural Swedish behaviour).
