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

And put sqlEscape around the accented text you want 

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