mnoGoSearch uses Unicode internally for their indexing and searching
in the current configuration, as you wrote. Thus, it needs to convert
HTML files into Unicode before processing them and it needs converters.
The default compilation of mnoGoSearch omits converters to Unicode from
east Asian encodings (ISO-2022-JP, EUC-KR, Big5, GB2312), and this is
why it cannot index nor search east Asian pages.
Compilation with the ./configure option will enable this.
Though Japanese and Chinese have further problem (problem 2), Korean
should be solved by this.
