Thanks, Alexander and Kir, now things become more clear. I think,
keeping separate entry page and using s.cgi for results only is not
the best solution, long term. Are there any pitfalls in just modifying
s.cgi code to work with the Unicode, if I need a multi-language site?

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):
> telnet www.aspseek.com 80
Trying 128.241.21.30...
Connected to www.aspseek.com.

Probably default charset can also be set by specifying
LocalCharset utf-8
in "variables" section of s.htm (but I haven't checked this).
