GNU Emacs 22.0.50 fails to find ä in differ ent ISO Latin encodings

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

Launched with -Q

        unify-8859-on-decoding-mode is nil
        unify-8859-on-encoding-mode is t

I start i-search in an Unicode encoded buffer (*Help*). In an ISO  
8859-1 encoded buffer ä and Ä are found, also in ISO 8859-10, ISO  
8859-13 (except for Ä), ISO 8859-14, and ISO 8859-16 encoded buffers,  
but fails in ISO 8859-2, ISO 8859-3, ISO 8859-4, ISO 8859-9, and ISO  
8859-15. It is similiar to ö and ü, accept that these are not found  
in the ISO 8859-14 encoded buffer. Changing unify-8859-on-decoding- 
mode's value makes no difference.
