In general that would be true, and the normal case. However, here's a case where you might want it to match "a", too. You are pretty sure you saw a quote of a Norwegian text or a Norwegian name in an otherwise English document, and want to find it. But you forgot the spelling was not accurate: the word you're sure is in the quote contains "=C3=A5", but was spelled with "a" (by a non-Norwegian typist) instead. Rarely of use, I agree. I think the more normal case (and the original motivation for this, also pointed out by Marcin) would be an English-speaker who would find it difficult to type "=C3=A5", and so searches for the Norwegian text using the word spelling with "a" (she doesn't know about "aa").
