I've belatedly learned that Internet Explorer may not apply the
encoding specified in a form's accept-charset attribute.

Please test your example search page in IE8 (in either normal mode or
compatibility mode); enter any query containing extended characters,
and observe that the query value's encoding is *not* UTF-8 (unless the
browser was already set to use UTF-8 encoding for the search page).
