Indexing could turn every message into a fixed encoding (e.g. utf-8) and
store the database in that encoding.  The search would then be based on
matching utf-8 against utf-8 so it might have a chance of working.

However, I hardly ever move outside of the 7-bit world and I have no
time in my life right now.  It's a job for somebody who has the time and
motivation.  Of course I will be happy to apply a good patch.
