How does this work with medusa? I have never bothered to run medusa, but i
guess that it saves a small database with all filenames, sort it and let
the user search it in some way. Does it use locale information for
searching (and thus sorting)? In some languages e and é should both match
when you search for e and in others they should not match (I guess e and
é are such characters, but there are other examples otherwise).

So how does medusa sort the filnames that are saved. One sorting for each
language? Or maybe it doesn't sort and do a brute force search?
