I looked into this file and it uses latin "a" letter in the word "vilag"
I couldn't even find %E1 in it.

Results are strange
Anyway, do you use charset guesser? If not try to build ASPseek with it.
Use ./configure --enable-charset-guesser, then make.
Server c64.rulex.org doesn't return any encoding for those documents, and
without knowing of encoding ASPseek will
consider only latin characters in those documents as alphanumeric
characters, that is it will store two words: vil g

We already implemented it and this is one of the most advanced features of
ASPseek.
However we don't have good frontend for this yet.
To create web spaces (groups) and assign sites to them perform the following
steps
1) Assign numeric ID to spaces, so lets group a1 will have ID 1 and group
a2 will have ID 2.
2) Insert into database table "spaces" records with appropriate fields
space_id (1 or 2) and site ID (site ID can be obtained from field
sites.site_id)
using SQL INSERT command, example: INSERT INTO spaces(space_id, site_id)
VALUES (1, 1) and so on.
3) Run "index -B". This command will create binary files spN, where N is the
space ID in the directory var/<DBName>/subsets.
These files are used by "searchd" if search is restricted by space(s). Note,
that these files are also created after saving of delta files (index -D)
Now database is ready to search within web spaces
To search within particular web space(s) use spN=on parameter of s.cgi,
where N is the number of web space
You can use multiple spN parameters. If values of all spN parameters is off,
then search will not be restricted by any space.
Examples:
s.cgi?sp1=on&sp2=off&...
s.cgi?sp1=on&sp2=on&...
s.cgi?sp1=off&sp2=off&...
Thank you for interest in ASPseek
Alexander.
