I've just looked into this again, as I was testing this on a portuguese wiki and noticed that it actually works. The problem with the search tool isn't that it can't do character folding, it is that it doesn't rank it properly, see this:

http://romania.wikia.com/wiki/Special:C%C4%83utare?search=Sanatatea+romania&fulltext=Search&page=2&ns0=1&ns14=1

Currently it shows at the bottom of the page. So while it does work, one of the diacritics might not be folded properly or it simply has a hard time ranking results. If one searches for " Sanatatea in romania", then it yields far better results, and shows it on the first page.

You can see it working properly here:
