In the meantime I got a message with a quite good solution:
... WHERE lower(name1)='test'
The mentioned problem with phrases like 'Maße' is in this application no
problem: For every field value the programm creates some matchcodes
which contain the original value (Maße) and values with replaced
characters( ß -> ss, Ä -> Ae ...). So the user doesn't care if he is
looking for 'Maße' or 'Masse'.
