htdig will only support 8-bit encodings, and only if these encodings are supported by a "locale" on your system. See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.8 and http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.10 > What i mean by searching is using the exact search algorithm ..

You have the right list, and I hope this response is soon enough. You are correct that most fuzzy match algorithms will require extra configuration. The endings algorithm needs a dictionary and affix file. The synonyms algorithm needs a list of equivalent words. The soundex and metaphone algorithms are pretty much English-specific, and right now the accents algorithm (in the 3.1.6 and 3.2.0b4 snapshots) only works with ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) encoding. -- Gilles R.
