Full-text search and queries sensitive to accents

[Fco. Mario Barcala" Rodríguez]

Hi all:

I read in mysql documentation that searches are case-insensitive by
default but this default behaviour can be changed using a latin1_bin
collation. But, is there any way to make searches sensitive or
unsensitive to accents, umlauts, etc.?

I suppose that queries are accent sensitive by default. Is there any way
to change this in mysql 5.1?

Thanks in advance,
