I don't know at all how the search engine in Frontier works, so I can only
guess. But I think there should be no problem.

As to the "compatibility" between ISO-8859-1 and MacRoman (and GB2312), I
think there should be no problem. Because:
GB2312 uses (I think):
first byte ASCII decimal 161-254
second byte ASCII decimal 161-254
MacRoman uses all the range between 128-255 (except 202?)
And ISO-8859-1 uses 160-255.

As you seee, the range used by GB2312 is included in the range used by
ISO-8859-1.
