What should Æ match?
As it is, with diacritics disabled, it matches 'A' (and 'a').

What should Æ match?

It should match ae.
Unfortunately, in Everything, for performance reasons, it simply matches a.

Everything uses several normalization routines when match diacritics is disabled.

One method is NormalizeString
Another is converting to codepage 20127 (ASCII), this normalization is replacing Æ with a.
