I think I found the reason of the problem 1.  Though mnogosearch
supports multibyte languages, it doesn't support them by default.
To support them, recompilation is needed.


mnogosearch-3.2.7$ ./configure --help
                     .....
  --with-extra-charsets=CHARSET[,CHARSET,...]
                          Use additional non-default charsets:
                          none, all or a list from this set:
                          big5 gb2312 gbk japanese euc-kr gujarati tscii
                     .....


Note that "japanese" means Shift_JIS, which is not the encoding for
Debian Japanese web pages.  Debian Japanese web pages are written
using ISO-2022-JP which seems not be supported by mnogosearch.
