Sorry, I don't understand this sentence. Please reformulate.
Ideally, searching `maße' should not match `masse', but it should
match `MASSE'. Note that, to make a distinction in the uppercased
version between Maße (measures, metrics) and Masse (mass, matter),
some people also write `MASZE' for the uppercased version of Maße.
This use of SZ is oldfashioned and not `official' any more.
