createdb -E LATIN1

for searching from JSP forms try escaping your input with this:

<%! public static String sqlEscape(String str) {
if(str==null) return(null);
StringBuffer strBuf = new StringBuffer();
for(int i=0; i<str.length();i++) {
char c = str.charAt(i);
if(c== '\'') {
strBuf.append(c);
strBuf.append(c);
} else {
strBuf.append(c);
}
}
return(strBuf.toString());
}
%>

And put sqlEscape around the accented text you want

(sqlEscape(request.getParameter("someTxt")) !=null)
