#133 gg doesn't work for UTF-8 characters

The Google search gg works for some Chinese characters like "gg 你好" but doesn't work for most Chinese characters like "gg 李开复". These Chinese characters are in UTF-8 encoding.

I know I added UTF-8 support for the Google search, but I only tried with my own name (that's how I noticed the problem): Kim Gräsman.

I found some JavaScript code on the net to do UTF-8 encoding, and I suspect maybe it doesn't handle the full range of glyphs. From your report it looks like SourceForge is having trouble as well -- the first char shows up here as "??" and the second as "???", indicating that the second is a three-byte char.

We'll see if we can figure it out.

Actually, sourceforge works fine on my firefox. Maybe you don't have Chinese fonts in your computer or browser to display Chinese characters? I've attached a screenshot of this bug on my firefox.

I have committed a possible fix for this, to be released with DQSD 4.1. It would be great if someone using more complex scripts could try this out.
