So it only appears to search for ascii (7bit)? It may need some
adjusments with the charset handling or there is a conflict between them
(checks)
Hmm, it says iso-8859 everywhere, its probably confused. Just did some
adjustments.
I do get results, but not all the time. I suspect it is to do with
UTF-8 versus whatever you're normally used to. The program can
transcode from, eg, UTF-8 to iso-8859-1, which might be what is needed.
