Searching for non-Latin characters

   1. If the word we are searching doesn't exist in djvu xml, the search takes more time in contrary to an English word and the xml with the results that it is returned is too big. I also tested this in your "Bird Book" demo page of the Book Reader. When I searched for the word e.g. "network", the response was like this:

      br.BRSearchCallback('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="blank.css"?><SEARCH></SEARCH>');

       But when I search for the Greek word "Καλημέρα", a part of the returned result (it acctually contains all the djvu files) was like this:

 br.BRSearchCallback('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="blank.css"?><SEARCH><PAGE file="birdbookillustra00reedrich_0001.djvu" width="2742" height="4524"><CONTEXT>> </CONTEXT><WORD </WORD><CONTEXT> </CONTEXT></PAGE><PAGE file="birdbookillustra00reedrich_0002.djvu" width="2852" height="4406"><CONTEXT>> </CONTEXT><WORD </WORD><CONTEXT> </CONTEXT></PAGE><PAGE file="birdbookillustra00reedrich_0003.djvu" width="2852" height="4406"><CONTEXT>> </CONTEXT><WORD </WORD><CONTEXT> </CONTEXT></PAGE><PAGE file="birdbookillustra00reedrich_0004.djvu" width="2852" height="4406"><CONTEXT>> </CONTEXT><WORD </WORD><CONTEXT>.......);

    2. The second case is more severe, because if the word we are searching exists in djvu xml, then flipbook_search_br.php returns an Undefined offset notice in line 171 (list($junk, $keep) = explode('<WORD ',$token);) and again, the xml is like the case 1a.

I am pretty sure there is something to do with the encoding when the term is being sent through url parameter, but, for the moment, I haven't found a way to resolve this. I don't know if you have come across with the same problem.

Duly noted! Please add new bug reports to the Internet Archive BookReader project. The old "GnuBook" one will soon be retired. Thanks.
