[pmwiki-users] Search with non-ascii characters in url q= parameter

Hello Petko,

so I added to my test wiki config.php, near the top:

include_once("$FarmD/scripts/xlpage-utf-8.php");
$DefaultPageCharset = array(''=>'ISO-8859-1'); 

wiki.d wiki file pages contain:
charset=ISO-8859-1

Html source in the <head> contains an entry for utf-8:
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8' />

Now the search does not yield any results if the query string contains an  "ä" for instance.
But the  "ä" is displayed correctly in th eurl and in the search box.

So what may be stopping the search yielding results?
