     It's practically impossible to look at a penguin and feel angry.
         Egy pingvinre gyakorlatilag lehetetlen haragosan nezni.

Package: htdig
Version: 3.1.4-1

This is probably for upstream.

I use htdig with a locale: de_DE setting. It seems unable to find
occurrences of words containing non-ascii characters that are part of
titles, <Hn> or emphasis elements. Say, if i look for "bég" in my
data, it finds an index.html document that contains the line

<a href="beg-islamabad-1990.html">B&eacute;g 1991: From the Quark
Model to the Stand...</a>

but not the document beg-islamabad-1990.html itself, that starts with:

<html><head><title>B&eacute;g 1991: From the Quark Model to the
Stand...</title>
<body>
<h1>Mirza Abdul Baqi <strong>B&eacute;g</strong>: From the Quark Model
to the Standard Model: Ten Fateful Years in Particle Physics (1964--74
C.\,E.).</h1> 
<p>Mirza Abdul Baqi <strong>B&eacute;g</strong> (1991): <em>From the
Quark Model to the Standard Model: Ten Fateful Years in Particle
Physics (1964--74 C.\,E.).</em>

It also doesn't find another document containing

<p><a href="beg-islamabad-1990.html">Mirza Abdul Baqi
<strong>B&eacute;g</strong>: <em>From the Quark Model to the
Stand...</em> 221-284</a></p>
 
although it finds both documents if I look for "Mirza".

Yours, Florian.
