Bug Description

Konzertstück
Élegie
In the marcxml, the entries for these terms are:
Bartók, Béla,
Dohnányi, Ernst
Konzertstück

Searching using the following keyword search terms offer the following suggestions:
Search term - Suggestion
bartock - bart
dohnini - dohn

These suggestions lead to no hits

At first blush, that looks like broken marcxml content in concerto. Those aren't UTF8 characters, but XML entity encoded Latin-1 code page values. We should only be storing actual UTF8 in the database (with the exception of the Famous Five that need to be escaped in XML).
