Automatically substitute German special characters in Calibre?

I have German titles in my database.

In German you often have ä, ö, ß etc. You can write them ae, oe, ss if you do not have the German settings.

However if you search for e.g. Maerchen (fairy tales) in Calibre it ignores Märchen and vice versa.
When adding German titles they come in with ä or ae depending on their original data.

Can I tell Calibre to automatically convert all ä to ae, all ö to oe, all ß to ss and so on?
For new entries and/or existing ones?

Would it be possible to tell Calibre to treat each ö entered in a search as oe? And the same for ä, ß etc.?
I can of course stick to one way of spelling but it sometimes happens by accident.

Sorry if this is has been asked previously but neither Google nor the search here came up with an answer.
If it had already been answered a link to the thread would be greatly appreciated.
