Yes, I know.  The solution is to write the search page in UTF-8,
which has been available since last December when Craig and I
discussed about this problem.

For example, I can search an Russian word "Novosti" (of course in
Cyrillic) (which means "News") at http://search.debian.org/ English
page like:

http://search.debian.org/?q=%D0%9D%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8&ps=10&o=0&m=all&g=

and the page shows 112 results.

Also, I can input Japanese words.  However, there will be no results
for Japanese words because of problems I wrote.
