What is 'it'?  If 'it' means 'removing the effects...', then it would be
irrelevant in a collation created just for searching.  The effects
wouldn't be there to complicate matters.  A search-only collation for
normalised, correctly spelt Thai would be simple; it would have no
contractions unless you wanted to claim that words containing <U+0E24
THAI CHARACTER RU, U+0E45 THAI CHARACTER LAKKHANGYAO> did not contain
<U+0E24>.)
