Al is talking about initial search page, which is quite ofter made static
(for example see http://apache.aspseek.org/).

If your request will contain 'cs=utf-8' parameter, reply will also
be in utf-8 charset, with the appropriate header. I have just checked
this on www.aspseek.com site (my typing it quoted):

Probably default charset can also be set by specifying

LocalCharset utf-8

in "variables" section of s.htm (but I haven't checked this).
