Glad to oblige.  You are wrong.  See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.10

The only caution is that on some systems, where locale support isn't
properly set up or there are implementation bugs, htdig won't recognize
the accented characters.  The majority of systems don't have these
problems, but unfortunately some systems still do.

I would also recommend running the 3.1.6 snapshot from
http://www.htdig.org/files/snapshots/, as it fixes a few problems htmerge
had in handling accented characters on some systems, and it adds two new
config attributes (boolean_keywords and boolean_syntax_errors) to allow
completely customising htsearch for other languages.
