We ought to do something about that, maybe a special signature from the lsit serv with some etiquette stuff.

I've also been frustrated with the google search thing and stuff I know is in there, specific phrases I remember either writing or reading. But I don't know what other choice there is.

Same error message reported:

http://lists.nottingham.ac.uk/pipermail/xerte/2010-August/006237.html

Patrick suggested some php fixes.

Unfortunately, can't find the end of the string to see what fixed it.

I find Google site search a bit lame.
I can put strings in there I *know* are in a specific posting and it is not returned in a subsequent search.
Also, thread hijacking is rampant. ;-)

To avoid this problem, the page should be changed so that the form is submitted in the UTF-8 encoding either by changing the encoding of the page itself to UTF-8 or by specifying accept-charset=utf-8 on the form element.
