Yes, I can. It seems to be not a problem in swish-e, but a perl 
problem...I tried to lowercase the umlauts in my cgi with: 
lc($searchword) but I did not succeed.

Solution for my problem now is (line 1019 in swish.cgi):

     for ( $query ) {  # trim the query string
         s/Ü/ü/;
         s/Ä/ä/;
         s/Ö/ö/;
         s/\s+$//;
         s/^\s+//;
     }

Thanks for the hint,

sven
