WebGlimpse and Cyrillic font



Hello,
 
After successfully setting up WebGlimpse for an English site, we're having success utilizing the script for Spanish, French and Finnish versions. Unfortunately, we're also tackling a Russian version of the site, but WebGlimpse isn't recognizing the Cyrillic font.
 
Browsers such as Netscape version 4.0 and higher support Cyrillic fonts, such as Times New Roman Cyr. However, the html document must have a meta tag stating:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251">
 
So far, all our documents are displaying the Cyrillic font in the browser properly. However, WebGlimpse doesn't seem to recognize the character set.
 
If anyone would like to give it a try, go to: http://mercy.urantia.org/kniga/
 
Copy any Russian word, then go to: http://mercy.urantia.org/kniga/wgindex.html and past the word into the search field. The responding page shows the gibberish that is commonly seen when a Russian word is displayed in an html document without the proper charset meta tag.
 
Any and all suggestions will be appreciated. Still, thank you for a really great script!!
